The BJP-led Haryana government on Saturday said that no permission has been granted to hold Braj Mandal Shobha Yatra on August 28.
“We have denied the permission for yatra (Braj Mandal Shobha Yatra). Still, some have said they will conduct the yatra. We have imposed Section 144,” Nuh Deputy Commissioner Dhirendra Khadgata said.
The internet services have also been suspended in Nuh district till August 28. “As a preventive measure, internet services have been suspended in Nuh from 12 noon on August 26 upto 11:59 pm on August 28,” an official statement said.
Earlier today Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapur presided over a meeting with senior police officers of bordering States through video conferencing and called for a coordinated effort to effectively deal with the situation. In the meeting, Kapur said that Nuh administration has denied permission to the organizers of Yatra in wake of meeting of G20 Sherpa group scheduled to be held in Nuh from September 3 to 7 and to maintain law and order situation in the aftermath of violence that took place on July 31, 2023.
“Even though permission has been denied to hold Jal Abhishek Yatra, there are inputs that certain organizations have invited people from Haryana and other neighbouring States to reach Nuh on August 28,” the DGP was quoted as saying by ANI.
Earlier, the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) said that the Braj Mandal Shobha Yatra will be resumed on August 28 in Nuh.
