Hindu Outfits Firm On Today's Nuh Rally Plan Despite No Permission

The Haryana government has tightened security in the district by deploying 1,900 Haryana Police personnel and 24 companies of paramilitary forces.

Hindu groups have said they will go ahead with their "shobha yatra" in Haryana's Nuh today, despite the authorities denying permission for any rally in the communally sensitive district. 

Six people were killed in clashes that broke out in Muslim-majority Nuh on July 31, when a Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) procession was attacked by mobs. The dead included two home guards and a cleric.

In response to the defiance, the Haryana government has tightened security in the district by deploying 1,900 Haryana Police personnel and 24 companies of paramilitary forces at inter-state and inter-district borders.
