The increasing unrest between religious festivals in Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana, has raised the concern of local administration. A clash between two groups of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) activists on Sunday in Boyinapalli area of Alwal division of the city on the organizing of Milad-un-Nabi created tension in the entire area.
Two days after the incident, on Tuesday, local party workers attacked and vandalized the local office of AIMIM, causing heavy loss to the property. The police have arrested seven suspects, but the situation still remains critical.
More than 3000 soldiers deployed
This festival, celebrated on September 14 this year, was celebrated in a peaceful manner across the city on 14 September this year, Milad-un-Nabi. The main procession organized by the Markaji Milad procession committee started from Charminar to Mogalpura, in which thousands of devotees attended. The police deployed more than 3000 soldiers here and imposed traffic restrictions, so that there is no major untoward incident.
However, there was a dispute between two AIMIM groups over the arrangement of the stage at the venue in Boyinapalli. Alwal Police Inspector A. Prashant said that the clash took place between two groups of the same community, in which brick-stones went and some people were injured. The police immediately intervened and controlled the situation.
