In the town of Balasore, a clash between two groups on Monday left three people injured and several motorcycles damaged. The incident led to the imposition of prohibitory orders under section 144 of the CrPC, according to officials.
The Chief Minister, Mohan Charan Majhi, immediately contacted the Collector of Balasore, Ashish Thakare, and instructed him to take swift action in order to bring the situation under control. Majhi emphasized that he will not tolerate any disruptions to the state's law and order, and urged the people to maintain peace.
The clash erupted in the Bhujakhia Pir area of the town when a group of people staged a sit-in protest against the blood of animal sacrifice being spilled on the road. The other group then allegedly started hurling stones at them, resulting in the clash. It was reported that both sides were involved in the stone-pelting, which resulted in injuries to three individuals and damage to several motorcycles. The police had to resort to baton charging in order to disperse the mob and restore order. As a precautionary measure, the authorities also imposed prohibitory orders in the area.
The injured individuals were promptly taken to the Balasore district hospital for medical treatment. As a preventive measure, at least 150 police personnel have been deployed in the area to avoid any further escalation of the situation. Additionally, night patrolling will be conducted in sensitive areas to ensure the safety and security of the residents.
The clash between the two groups has caused tension in the town, but the authorities are taking all necessary steps to maintain peace and harmony. The police have also assured that strict action will be taken against those responsible for instigating the violence. The situation is currently under control, and the authorities are closely monitoring the situation to prevent any untoward incidents.
