Clash over construction near shrine

Panipat, March 6
Members of the two communities clashed with each other over the construction of a shop along a shrine on the local railway road here today.
The incident was triggered when the owner of the shop, who won a legal battle against the Wakf Board, started construction work on the shop.
However, members of one community did not take to it kindly and staged a protest against the construction. Meanwhile, other shopkeepers of the market gathered there and got into a confrontation with the protesters.
According to sources, the two groups clashed with each other in which some people sustained injuries.
Jai Bhagwan, a local resident, had bought a piece of land on the Railway road adjoining a shrine. The state Wakf Board moved the court against the sale of the piece of this land, following which the court stayed the construction of the shop. However, the court recently pronounced a verdict in favour of Jai Bhagwan, who today started the construction work on the shop.
A team of police officials reached the spot, which after verifying the court orders allowed Jai Bhagwan to go ahead with the construction work.
The protesting group, however, went to the office of the Deputy Commissioner and lodged a complaint. They later held a protest on the Railway road and blocked the road.
The protesters also pelted police party with stones, in which two policemen received injuries.
However, the police managed to get the blockade removed and the traffic was restored. Later, shopkeepers in other markets of the city also joined the protest and closed their shops.
Later, the police formed a committee in which five members from both the communities were included to sort out the matter.
The district administration in a statement stated that the situation was completely under control and effective measures were being taken to resolve the issue.
The administration maintained that the situation had been created by some anti-social elements.
