In the wake of the Hindu organisations’ insistence to take out religious procession "Brijmandal Jalabhishek Yatra" despite denial of permission, the state government of Haryana has taken precautionary measures to maintain peace and public order in the communally-sensitive district of Nuh. Mobile internet services have been suspended in the district since Saturday, and a strict vigil is being kept by the district administration.
About 2,000 police personnel of Haryana and 24 companies of paramilitary forces have been deployed in the Muslim-dominated district to keep a strict vigil. Police check-points have been set up at inter-state, intra and inter-district points. A drone is also being used for surveillance.
Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has urged people to visit temples for 'jalabhishek' in their nearby areas on the auspicious occasion of the last Monday of the 'shraavan' instead of 'yatra'. He also said that it is the govt’s duty to ensure that law and order in the area is maintained.
Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann had commented on Nuh violence asking how come unlike Punjab governor, the governors of Manipur and Haryana were silent on the law and order situation in their respective states. In response, Khattar has advised Mann to worry about his state and not Haryana which he said was safe.
On August 30, Nuh’s Ferozepur Jhirka Congress MLA Mamman Khan has been asked by police to join the investigation in connection with the July 31 violence. Some Hindu organisations had accused Khan of making provocative statements.
The first day of the monsoon session of the Haryana Assembly witnessed heated arguments over credits for Chandrayaan 3 moon landing. With the security tightened and the government taking necessary steps, it is hoped that the situation in the communally-sensitive district of Nuh will remain peaceful.
