 NEW DELHI: Around 600 paramilitary force personnel have been sent to Uttar Pradesh by the Centre to maintain law and order situation in the state in the wake of violence in Saharanpur.

The decision to sent the paramilitary forces was taken after home minister Rajnath Singh spoke to Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, official sources said.

Singh had asked Yadav to ensure communal harmony in the state in the wake of violence in Saharanpur and offered all help to contain the situation.

The home minister, who is personally monitoring the situation in Uttar Pradesh, had telephoned Yadav and expressed his concern over the violent clashes that broke out between two communities in the western UP town.
Earlier on Saturday, violent clashes broke out in Saharanpur district over a land dispute between two communities. Even as curfew was imposed in three police station areas, three people died, while at least 18 others, including five policemen, were injured during the clashes in Kutubshehr area of Saharanpur.


Several shops were set on fire during the clashes in Saharanpur

Police commissioner of Saharanpur Tanveer Zafar Ali said a policeman sustained bullet injuries during the clashes and has been referred to PGI in a serious condition.

The communal conflagration also resulted in nearly two dozen shops and vehicles being gutted in the Saharanpur area. DIG Saharanpur N Ravindra said the clashes started over an old dispute over a piece of land caught in litigation, lodged between two places of worship.





On Saturday, members of one community began constructing a boundary wall around the land, which was then opposed by members from the second community. The brawl began with a verbal spat and led to the two groups hurling stones at each other. The violence flared up despite the police's intervention.

District police said they used force and fired rubber bullets to bring the condition under control. Following the communal tension, the district administration imposed section 144 of the CrPC in Saharanpur.                                                                      Did this Post help you?
