Mazar Damaged Ahead of Brij Mandal Jalabhishek Yatra in Nuh, Haryana; Security Ramped Up

A mazar in Haryana's Nuh was damaged ahead of the Brij Mandal Jalabhishek yatra, with unidentified culprits responsible. The administration has taken action and deployed police personnel to ensure a peaceful and harmonious environment for the yatra. The event has been marred by clashes in the past, resulting in six deaths in 2023. This year, 2,500 police personnel have been deployed, and all schools are closed, along with internet services and the sale of meat along the yatra route.

In the wake of a recent incident of vandalism at a mazar in Haryana's Nuh district, authorities have taken stringent measures to ensure a peaceful and harmonious environment during the upcoming Brij Mandal Jalabhishek yatra. The damage, caused by unidentified culprits on Sunday night, has prompted the police to enhance security across the district [1].

The Deputy Commissioner of Nuh, Vishram Kumar Meena, has assured that administrative action will be swift and that the yatra will proceed in a harmonious manner. To prevent unrest, authorities have banned weapons, restricted communication, and deployed around 2,500 police personnel. Public reassurances have been issued, and certain services have been suspended to maintain peace and order during the event [1].

The Haryana government has also suspended mobile internet and bulk SMS services in the district to prevent communal tension. This move is part of a series of security measures aimed at ensuring the peaceful conduct of the yatra. Around 2,500 police personnel will be deployed, and surveillance will be heightened to prevent any untoward incidents [2][3][4].

Additional measures include the deployment of mounted police, sniffer dogs, bomb disposal squads, drones, video cameras, and commando units. The use of DJs, loudspeakers, or any sound-amplifying devices with provocative content is strictly prohibited. Meat shops along the yatra route will remain closed till July 24, and the sale of petrol or diesel in open containers will be prohibited at fuel stations in Nuh district from 6 am to 12 noon on Monday [2][3][4].

The heightened security measures are a response to the communal clashes that occurred during the yatra in 2023, resulting in six deaths and over 200 injuries. This year, authorities have taken proactive steps to prevent any recurrence of violence [2][3][4].
