Communal violence erupted in the Ghorthamba area during a Holi procession when a group allegedly opposed its passage through a particular street, leading to stone-pelting from both sides. The clashes escalated, and several vehicles were set ablaze.
A heavy police contingent was deployed to restore order. “The situation is under control and is being closely monitored,” said Khorimahua Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Rajendra Prasad.
