This comes amid similarly tense scenes in Sector 47 (a more urban area), where namaz offered outdoors on government-owned land led to demands it stop or move indoors.
Visuals from today's scene showed a heavy police presence (including members of the state's Rapid Action Force) as the Muslim community prepared for their prayers.
The video showed dozens of policemen standing guard behind a handful of yellow metal barricades holding back a protesting crowd shouting 'Jai Shri Ram' slogans.
