VIOLENCE IN TWIN CITIES OF SOUTHERN INDIA RESULTS IN IMPOSITION OF CURFEW

TORY: Situation in certain sensitive neighbourhoods of Twin Cities – Hyderabad and Secunderabad in southern India’s Andhra Pradesh state was tense after a violent clash took place between unidentified people near a place of worship on Sunday (April 08).
This prompted the local authorities to impose curfew and deployment of security personnel to restore and maintain peace.
Reportedly, presence of prohibited meat near a religious place ignited the violence.
Soon mischief-makers of two communities gathered to pelt stones at each other. Consequently, the shopkeepers rolled down their shutters.
According to top brass of the city police, while patrolling has been increased in Madanapet and Saidabad areas of the city, additional force has also been deployed in other sensitive areas to control the situation.
Briefing reporters, Police Commissioner of Hyderabad, A. K. Khan said that four to five persons have been injured in the violence.
