AHMEDABAD, MARCH 3. Barring a few stray incidents of arson, looting and group clashes, no other major incidents of violence were reported from any part of the riot-torn Gujarat today showing a remarkable improvement in the State after four days of orgy of violence. As details of the violence in different parts of the State in the last four days started trickling in, the toll has officially gone up to 431 including 234 deaths in Ahmedabad. However, only two deaths were reported today, one each in Ahmedabad and Godhra. Advani's priorities The Union Home Minister, L.K. Advani, visited Ahmedabad and Godhra today. In a State torn apart by communal hate, he laid out his priorities: ``First we have to arrest the guilty, second, to prevent recurrence of any kind of violence and third, to ensure peace and security to all sections of people.`` Mr. Advani described the Godhra attack as ``pre- meditated and said, ``those who are guilty and the key planner of the entire act should be apprehended''. But, he put down five days of State-wide mayhem as simply ``nothing but communal violence''. Asked about an inquiry into the incidents, Mr. Advani said Godhra and the subsequent violence were different matters.
