Violence Erupts from Telangana to Maharashtra on Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha Day

On January 22, the consecration ceremony of the grand Ram Mandir in Ayodhya took place, immersing the nation in devotion. Celebrations included rallies and processions, resembling Diwali festivities. However, in some parts of the country, violent incidents marred the joyous occasion.

In Sangareddy's Hathnoora village in Telangana, a dispute between two communities escalated late Monday night. Simultaneously, a rally in Ayodhya led to a clash, resulting in a fire at a shop on the opposing side. Tensions spread, causing unrest in Kodangal and Daulatabad areas near Sangareddy, affecting regions represented by CM Revanth Reddy.

Provoked individuals from the opposing side took to the streets, leading to disturbances. Police forces were deployed, bringing the situation under control. AIMIM supremo Asaduddin Owaisi engaged in discussions with Sangareddy's police chief, demanding strict action against the troublemakers.

Maharashtra's Unrest:

Apart from Telangana, neighboring state Maharashtra witnessed turmoil on Monday. Some areas had been tense since Sunday. In Navi Mumbai's Panvel area, supporters of the powerful Shinde group organized a bike rally on Monday, which was attacked by unidentified individuals. Three people were injured in this assault. The previous night in Meera Road, troublemakers vandalized vehicles carrying people celebrating with Ram flags and engaged in physical altercations.

Thirteen individuals have been arrested based on CCTV footage, with a search ongoing for others involved. Deputy CM and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis expressed strong dissatisfaction with the incident, urging the police to take stringent action.

Notably, on Sunday evening, violence erupted in Mehsana, Gujarat, during a procession for Lord Ram near a mosque. Troublemakers initiated stone pelting, leading to chaos, and five people sustained injuries in the incident.
