Hundreds of people including large number of women from the Muslim community blocked the bypass road connecting GB hospital and Khayerpur.
Prohibitory orders were imposed in parts of Tripura's capital Agartala on Tuesday after a row erupted when a group of people from the Muslim community alleged that a Shiv temple was erected at a burial ground at Palpara, close to Nandannagar Thanda Kalibari area.
Hundreds of people including large number of women from the Muslim community blocked the bypass road connecting GB hospital and Khayerpur in protest against the alleged capture of their graveyard where on Monday a Shiv temple was allegedly erected overnight by the Hindu Yuva Bahani.
The protestors demanded immediate clearing of the graveyard by the state government.
The protestors said that the burial ground has been on the location for a long time and alleged that a certain section is trying to disturb the communal harmony between Muslims and Hindus who have been peacefully residing in the area for decades.
