A tense atmosphere prevailed in Patiala in Punjab after two groups came face to face during a protest march held against banned terrorist outfit Khalistan today. The situation was brought under control after the police intervened and fired in the air to disperse the crowd.
At least four people are reported to have suffered injuries in the clashes.
The district administration has appealed to the residents to maintain peace and harmony, requesting the two groups to resolve their "dispute or misunderstanding" through a dialogue.
Clashes broke out after the procession held by the group which identifies itself as Shiv Sena (Bal Thackeray) came face to face with Sikh groups that are believed to be pro-Khalistan.
