The procession “Shobha Yatra”, has prompted concerns over potential communal tensions, with officials putting in place a series of precautions to ensure public safety.
Officials have enforced strict restrictions on outsiders entering the Nuh district, with police and paramilitary forces patrolling the area. Security protocols have been extended to inter-state and inter-district borders to prevent any unauthorised entry. The heightened security follows a clash that occurred on July 31, leading to six fatalities and communal disturbances in Nuh.
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar advised devotees to avoid the procession and instead suggested visiting temples in their localities for 'jalabhishek' ceremonies. Despite the denial of permission, the VHP remains steadfast in its intention to proceed with the yatra.
