New Delhi: Internet services were shut down and a four-day curfew was imposed on Saturday (November 13, 2021) in Maharashtra's Amravati city which witnessed fresh violence during a Bandh, a senior police official said.
A mob hurled stones at shops during the Bandh (shut-down) allegedly organised by local BJP workers in protest against the rallies organized by Muslim organizations the day before to condemn the recent violence in Tripura, police said.
Internet services in the city will remain suspended for three days so as to prevent the spread of rumours which can fuel violence, said city Commissioner of Police Arti Singh.
