Hindu organisations called a half-day bandh in Dhar over alleged non-compliance with the Supreme Court’s directions on the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Complex. Security was tightened as protesters held rallies, while authorities said the situation remained peaceful and urged residents to avoid rumours
Locals caught hold of one of the person and thrashed him before handing him over to the police; this is the third such incident in Shamshabad mandal in last one week
The activists have urged the local people to voluntarily observe bandh to stress their demand for arrest of those responsible for damaging idols of deities.
