Fresh
violence in Hyderabad, restrictions imposed

Hyderabad:
The communal clashes Sunday spread to more areas in the old city of
Hyderabad as police clamped ban on gathering of five or more people
and deployed additional forces to bring the situation under control.
Police fired shots in the air to disperse clashing groups in
Kalapatthar area after a baton charge failed to bring the situation
under control while mobs took to streets in Lal Darwaza and Shahali
Banda areas Sunday evening, pelting stones and attacking vehicles.
Tension gripped the communal sensitive old city as fresh incidents
of violence spread panic among people.
Nearly 24 hours after the trouble broke out over religious flags in
Hussaini Alam area, the disturbances in more areas near the historic
Mecca Masjid shattered the day-long peace.
Police Commissioner A.K. Khan told reporters that 36 people were
injured in violent incidents at various places since Saturday night.
"We are on alert in view of the latest incidents and are monitoring
the situation from time to time," he said.
Paramilitary Rapid Action Force (RAF) and state police personnel
were deployed in sensitive areas to maintain peace as Chief Minister
K. Rosaiah, who reviewed the situation at a high-level meeting,
directed police to deal firmly with trouble-makers.
Prohibitory orders under section 144 of criminal procedure code,
banning assembly of five or more persons were imposed in the limits
of the entire south zone of Hyderabad.
Khan said the violence was pre-planned and claimed that some
elements creating trouble have been identified. Denying the
involvement of any political party, he said a meeting would be held
with all elected representatives to seek their cooperation in
maintaining peace.
Police have registered 15 cases and arrested 70 people for various
violent incidents. Khan said a Special Investigation Team (SIT)
would probe the cases.
Trouble began in Moosa Bowli Saturday night when members of a
community were allegedly putting up saffron flags after removing the
green flags installed recently during a festival. The heated
exchange of word snowballed into clashes between two groups.
Incidents of stone pelting and attacks on places of worship, houses,
shops and vehicles were reported well past midnight while some
people were seen vacating their houses in sensitive areas.
Thirteen people, including two scribes, were injured in stone
pelting and police baton charge. Two vehicles were set afire and
about a dozen others were damaged by the mobs.
Police used batons to disperse clashing groups, who were armed with
sticks and stones.
The incidents took place two days after clashes between two groups
in Madannapet area on the same issue.
The two communities by and large live in peace and harmony in the
city, which has not seen any major communal riot for two decades.
