Violence in Chomu Over Mosque Railings
In the town of Chomu near Jaipur, some people put up iron railings outside a mosque, which blocked the road.
The police tried to take them down early in the morning, but some people started throwing stones, hurting six police officers.
The internet was shut down for a day, and the police are marching around the town to keep things calm.
The community and the police had different opinions about the railings, with the community wanting to mark their religious space and the police seeing it as an encroachment on the public road.
Over 50 people were detained, and the government said they will not tolerate any disruption of law and order.
Six police officers were injured during a stone-pelting incident in Chomu, Rajasthan.
The incident occurred while removing iron railings erected outside a mosque that encroached on a road.
Discussions were held the previous evening between the administration and community members about stones placed on the road.
