First signal zero tolerance, on the boil

The Centre has been urging that Abdullah take steps to strictly enforce curfew to first signal zero tolerance for disrupters out to keep the Valley on the boil. This would need close cooperation between paramilitary and police as Army can only have a demonstrative effect. The use of Army in law and order activities is not seen to be advisable.

Please explain to me the highlighted parts.

"Zero tolerance" means that anyone who violates (even slightly) the rules will be punished severely. They want to stricly enforce the curfew, by first giving notice (signal) that all laws must be obeyed.
