Hyderabad: Hanuman Shoba Yatra concludes peacefully under police vigil

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Hanuman Shoba Yatra procession concluded peacefully amid tight police security on Thursday and the city police commissioner CV Anand stated that the police department mined through data for intelligence in view of disturbances across the country.
In addition to the mobile patrols of the Task Force and Law & Order wings, a contingent of heavily-armed police officers stood along the 12.2 KM procession route. Police officers in plain clothes mixed with the crowd en route said a police press release.
CV Anand participated in prayers held at the Ram Mandir at Gowliguda post which he visited and inspected the entire stretch of the procession.

“In view of the disturbances all over the country, the city police mined its data, last year’s experiences, current happenings for all the intelligence it can glean,” said Anand.
Thousands of youngsters on two-wheelers took part in the main procession which started at Ram Mandir in Gowliguda around 12:30 pm, and traversed through Putlibowli crossroads, Andhra Bank crossroads, and Kacheguda crossroads in 2 hours.
CV Anand along with several senior officials from the Road Transport Corporation (RTC), Roads & Buildings department, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), Emergency Management and Research Institute (EMRI) Fire department, and the Electric department monitored the situation through visuals from drones and CCTVs along the multiple routes in the joint command and control centre, a press note said.
En route 171 tributary processions originated from different parts of City limits, and 50 processions from Cyberabad and Rachakonda commissionerates converged in the main procession at different intersections. Finally, one long procession culminated at Hanuman Temple, Tadbund.
Hampered by the persistent drizzle, all processions moved at a sluggish pace for 2 to 3 hours and regained momentum toward dusk. Nevertheless, the Traffic Police peered at the volumes and ensured a smooth flow of traffic throughout the day.

Hanuman Jayanti: Raja Singh taken into preventive custody in Hyderabad

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Now suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh was taken into preventive custody by the Mangalhat police and Commissioner’s Task Force when he tried to take out a rally and join the Veer Hanuman Jayanthi Shobha Yatra on Thursday.
A police team led by N Ravi Kumar, SHO Mangalhat police station and Task Force people came to the residence of the MLA and took him into custody. He was taken into a police vehicle and shifted to a police station, which is yet to be known.
Minutes before his arrest, Raja Singh released a video and said the police are planning to arrest him and prevent him from joining the Hanuman Jayanthi rally.

“On Hanuman Jayanthi I visit the all temples. The rally starts from the Ram Mandir temple in Gowliguda in my constituency. If I am arrested chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao and Home Minister Mohammad Mahmood Ali are responsible for the consequences,” threatened Raja Singh.
When the police came to arrest him, Raja Singh argued with them and reiterated that he would go and join the rally. However, SHO Ravi Kumar pacified him and took him into custody. The MLA was shifted to a police station.
The police are on alert following the advisory issued by the Union Home Ministry in view of riots in different states in the country during Sri Rama Navami. The Telangana police are monitoring the situation after the arrest of BJP state president Bandi Sanjay in Warangal for conspiracy to defame the government and creating commotion by ‘leaking the SSC exam question paper’ on Tuesday.
Raja Singh was earlier detained on Wednesday by the police when he was on his way to meet Bandi Sanjay who is currently in custody.

Heavy security forces deployed in Delhi’s Jahangirpuri on Hanuman Jayanti

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Heavy security forces have been deployed in the Jahangirpuri area of the national capital to deal with any untoward incident on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti on Thursday.
The Delhi Police on Wednesday also conducted a flag march in the area.
The police earlier were not in favour of giving permission to any procession in the area, but later the activity was allowed.

“Hanuman Janmotsav celebration at Jahangirpuri is being regulated in consultation with the organisers. We are ensuring that it takes place in a safe and secure manner,” said Special Commissioner of Police (law and order) Deependra Pathak.
The police also regularised the route for Hanuman Jayanti in the area after the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) expressed its wish to take out a procession on the occasion.
On VHP’s request, a senior police officer said: “We examined their request and we have regularised the route after making it short, and adequate security will be deployed in the district to maintain the law and order situation.”
In April last year, communal clashes broke out in Jahangirpuri during a procession that was taken out to mark Hanuman Jayanti.
At least eight police personnel and a civilian sustained injuries in the violence.

While a procession was passing through a mosque area, stone pelting had started, triggering the clashes.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has urged all states to ensure law and order during the Hanuman Jayanti.
The MHA issued an advisory to all states and Union territories to sensitise law enforcement agencies and monitor any factor that could disrupt peace and harmony in society.
“The MHA has issued an advisory to all states in preparation for Hanuman Jayanti. The governments are encouraged to ensure the maintenance of law and order, peaceful observance of the festival, and monitoring of any factors that could disturb communal harmony in society,” said the Home Minister’s Office in a tweet on Wednesday.

WB: Post Ram Navami violence, VHP to hold 500 Hanuman Jayanti events

[ad_1]
Kolkata: Amid the furore over violence during celebration of Ram Navami in West Bengal, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has decided to conduct 500 Hanuman Jayanti programmes across the state on Thursday.
VHP national assistant secretary Sachindranath Singha told PTI that no weapons would be carried during the Hanuman Jayanti processions in the state.
“Around 500 small programmes would be organised across the state. We won’t take out too many rallies and only a few will be held. No weapons will be carried during the rallies,” he said.

When asked whether the decision not to hold many processions is the fallout of the violence during Ram Navami, Singha replied in the negative.
“Rallies are taken out during Ram Navami, and programmes are organised during Hanuman Jayanti. It has nothing to do with the problems during Ram Navami this time,” he said.
Prohibitory orders were imposed in West Bengal’s Hooghly and Howrah districts, where clashes broke out between two groups during Ram Navami procession.
The Calcutta High Court on Wednesday directed the West Bengal government to requisition central forces to assist the state police in maintaining peace during Hanuman Jayanti celebrations.
Singha welcomed the court order and blamed the state government for violence during the recent Ram Navami celebrations.

“The state government should have taken stern measures,” he said.
Reacting to Singha’s comment, TMC state spokesperson Kunal Ghosh blamed the BJP and VHP for fomenting trouble in the state.
“The BJP, RSS and its affiliates like the VHP are fomenting trouble in the area. They are trying to disturb the peaceful atmosphere of the state,” he said.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday urged people to celebrate the Hanuman Jayanti festival peacefully.

Hanuman Jayanti: Bajrang Dal in Hyderabad invites national convenor

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: After the peaceful passing of the Sri Ram Navami Shobha Yatra, the city police is now focussing on the Hanuman Jayanti Shobha Yatra which will be taken out on April 6.
Neeraj Doneria is the Bajrang Dal’s national convenor. He has been invited as a chief guest for the Hanuman Jayanthi procession.
Doneria, who had worked as the organizing secretary of the VHP in Himachal Pradesh earlier, has been appointed as the National convener of the Bajrang Dal in 2022.

Since assuming charge of top post in Bajrang Dal, Neeraj Doneria has been supporting implementation of Uniform Civil Code in the country and renaming of Gujarat’s Ahmedabad city as Karnavati. He also described ‘love jihad’ as the “most gruesome form of religious conversionæ.
In wake of violence during the Rama Navmi in many states, the Telangana police is also closely monitoring hate speeches.
The Special Branch of the Hyderabad police and state intelligence department are also leaving no stone unturned to ensure the peaceful passing of Hanuman Jayanti.

Protect your Muslim brothers: CM Mamata appeal to Hindus as Hanuman Jayanti nears

[ad_1]
Khejuri: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee asked “Hindu brothers” to protect minorities and claimed that there are plans afoot for another round of violence in the state on Thursday when the nation celebrates Hanuman Jayanti.
She also claimed that political workers carrying arms and bombs are deliberately taking out Ram Navami processions in minority areas even five days after the festival is over to incite violence.
Banerjee’s comments came a day after clashes broke out between two groups of people during Ram Navami processions in Rishra and Serampore in the Hooghly district. These incidents followed another skirmish at Kazipara in Howrah on March 30, the day of the festival.

“I will entrust a responsibility to my Hindu brothers to see that minorities are not tortured on April 6 (Hanuman Jayanti),” Banerjee said while addressing a program here in Purba Medinipur district.
Banerjee’s appeal to Hindus is reminiscent of Bangladesh’s founder Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s “Rukhe Darao” (Stand up in protest)” call in 1964 when communal disturbances were sweeping the then East Pakistan.
The Trinamool Congress supremo also urged Hindus to give protection to the Scheduled Caste and Adivasi communities.
Lashing out at Banerjee, senior BJP leader Rahul Sinha asserted that the TMC chief is making these statements after her party’s loss in the Sagardighi by-election, in which, he claimed, both Hindus and Muslims turned away from her party.
“She is also providing a prior excuse so that if something goes wrong on April 6, she will be able to blame the BJP. This is a good ploy of Banerjee to cover up the wrongdoings of her party colleagues,” Sinha told PTI.

CPI(M) central committee member Dr Sujan Chakraborty said that if Banerjee had the information regarding probable violence on Hanuman Jayanti, she could have held meetings with the administration to tighten the security measures instead of touring Purba Medinipur district.
“She must meet the police to find out why these incidents took place and what could be done to tighten security measures,” Chakraborty said.
Since last week, West Bengal has been witnessing incidents of vandalism and clashes over the festival. “Why will the processions continue for five days after Ram Navami? Do it on the day of the festival. We have never had objections But they cannot do rallies with guns and bombs, or without necessary permissions from the police,” Banerjee said.
The Trinamool Congress supremo has been alleging that the BJP is behind the arson and clashes during Ramnavami proceedings. “They are deliberately entering minority areas to incite violence and create tension,” Banerjee claimed.
Referring to the upcoming panchayat election in the state, the dates of which are yet to be announced, Banerjee alleged that the BJP and the CPI(M) have an “unholy alliance” and they should get a befitting reply.
“Till the day I am alive, no one will be able to stop me from fighting for the people. I was with the people, I am with people and I will remain with people,” she said.
While terming the BJP-led central government as “the most corrupt”, Banerjee asserted that it has stopped the release of funds due to her government.
The chief minister is on a four-day trip to Purba Medinipore district from Monday. She is also scheduled to look into her party’s preparedness for the panchayat election.
