The police on Tuesday stopped a nine-member delegation of senior Haryana Congress leaders from entering Nuh district, the scene of recent violence.
The delegation, including the party’s state unit chief Udai Bhan and party MP Deepender Hooda, was stopped near Rewasan Village.
Meanwhile, Hooda said that the clashes, which broke out days ago, would not have happened had this type of police deployment been earlier.
“Our delegation wants to visit Nuh City, Nalhar Mandir and markets.
Earlier on Monday, the district public relations officer (DPRO) for Haryana stated that after several days of unrest in Nuh district, normal life has begun to return there thanks to the district administration’s efforts. The curfew was lifted on Sunday and Monday in an effort to get things back to normal in the neighborhood.
“People of all communities were engaged in restoring peace by cooperating with peace and harmony. People are now completely alert to any kind of rumours. Citizens bought their essential commodities from various markets. The officers of the district administration and police remained in constant contact with the people,” the DPRO said.
The state government on Monday said that as many as 156 people have been arrested and 56 FIRs registered so far in connection with the violence and rioting in Nuh district.
Violence had broken out between two groups on July 31 in Haryana’s Nuh district, on Monday in Nuh that claimed the lives of six people including two Home Guards.
