Dhar Revokes Varah March Permission, Detains Organisers Amid Tensions

Officials in Dhar cancelled a planned religious march called the Varah March.

They said the decision was made to protect people and maintain peace.

Police detained and later arrested some organisers connected with the event.

Posters about the march were removed from the city.

Many police officers were sent to sensitive areas and patrols were increased.

The Archaeological Survey of India also closed the Ganjikhana site for the day.

Hindus call the structure there Vijay Mandir, while Muslims call it Lat Masjid.

Hindu organisations say it was originally a temple, while historical accounts in the report describe it as a mosque.

Officials asked people to remain calm and avoid unnecessary travel.
