On Friday, there was a tense atmosphere in Bhadrak district of Odisha as two communities clashed over a controversial post on social media. The clash resulted in injuries to two police personnel and led to the administration imposing prohibitory orders in the areas under the Puranabazar police station. According to officials, the incident took place due to a post made by a young person from one community, which led to the other community organizing a protest rally.
During the rally, members from both communities started throwing bricks at each other, causing further chaos and violence. When the police arrived at the scene and tried to stop the rally, which was held without prior permission, a group of protesters turned on them and attacked them. This resulted in injuries to the Deputy Superintendent of Police and the Station Incharge of Bhadrak Town Police Station.
In order to control the volatile situation, the police had to resort to mild lathicharge to disperse the protesters. As a result of the clash and the injuries sustained by the police, the administration decided to promulgate Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, for an indefinite period. This further added to the tension and unrest in the area.
The clash between the two communities has caused a lot of concern among the locals and the administration. The incident has also highlighted the need for stricter regulations on social media posts, which can often lead to such communal tensions. The situation in Bhadrak remains tense and the administration is working to restore peace and order in the affected areas.
