Nuh (Haryana) | Outsiders will be barred from entering Nuh and security has been beefed up in the district and other areas in view of the Sarv Jatiya Hindu Mahapanchayat's call for a 'shobha yatra' on Monday, despite the authorities denying permission for the procession.
Officials said police and paramilitary forces have been deployed to keep a strict vigil while security at inter-state and inter-district borders has also been tightened.
As a precautionary measure, the Nuh district administration has already ordered the closure of educational institutions and banks on Monday, suspended mobile Internet and bulk SMS services, and imposed prohibitory orders in the communally-sensitive district.
Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Alok Kumar on Sunday said that Braj Mandal Shoba Yatra will be peacefully organised in the Nuh tomorrow. VHP leader Kumar said that no issues related to law and order would arise and government should focus on maintaining peace in the state.
Alok Kumar said, "We know that G20 is going to start, so we will shorten the Yatra. But we will not leave it and will complete it tomorrow. I will also take part in it. Why will Law and Order issues arise? Why the government is there?
The government is there to maintain Law and Order so that people can organise their religious events peacefully and safely. We will organise it peacefully and they (administration and govt) should maintain law and order."
Earlier today Rajendra Kumar, Inspector General, South Range Rewari said that the district administration has denied permission to hold Yatra in Nuh and all arrangements related to the deployment of law and order have been made.
"Administration has denied permission and we are also trying to control
everything by mutual understanding. For Law and Order, police deployment has been done. On the deployment front too we have made all the arrangements," he said.
Haryana government authorities have denied permission for the Yatra and have imposed section 144 in the district citing apprehensions of disturbance of law and order expressed by local police as well as intelligence agencies.
Haryana Police on Saturday said that the internet services have been suspended in Nuh district till August 28.
"As a preventive measure, internet services have been suspended in Nuh from 12 noon on August 26 upto 11:59 pm on August 28," an official statement said. However, Vishwa Hindu Parishad said that they will bring out a Braj Mandal Jal Abhishek Yatra on August 28 in Nuh.
