Muslim-dominated Sanjay Nagar bore the brunt when violence broke out on April 10 as religious processions were held in neighbouring Talab Chowk.
Khargone in Madhya Pradesh - where violence broke out on Ram Navami -- has been going through an endless loop of communal clashes over the recent years. So much so, that some of the Hindu families living in the area are eager to put up their houses for sale, even the ones they received under Central schemes.
"Yeh Makaan Bikau Hai' (This house is on sale)" is emblazoned on many houses in the area, some of them built under the PM Awas Yojana.
Rakesh Kale, one of the house owners who wrote it, says they are fed up with the violence.
"We have been the first and worst targets of rioters during communal violence at least four times since 1992. Every time we rebuild our lives after losing our properties in the communal violence, another riot happens," he told NDTV.
