Lucknow: Curfew
continued for a second consecutive day in Bareilly city in Uttar
Pradesh Monday even as police said the situation following
communal violence was under control.
The administration imposed curfew in Quila, Prem Nagar, Baradari
and Kotwali areas Sunday after clashes between Hindus and Muslims
owing to the use of loudspeakers during a Janmashtami procession.
After a brief verbal spat, the two sides pelted stones at each
other, and attacked and vandalized government property.
All schools and colleges, officials said, will remain closed till
further orders.
A total of 205 people have been arrested for breaching curfew,
Inspector General of Police Badri Prasad Singh told IANS.
Cases have been lodged against 48 people for rioting, obstructing
government work and violence, he added.
A large number of Provincial Armed Constabulary and Rapid Action
Force personnel has been deployed in the curfew bound areas.
This is the second time violence has broken out in the district,
the last being on July 22. Four policemen have been suspended for
alleged dereliction in duty.
