The Karnataka government on Tuesday (23 January) imposed prohibitory orders at Wadi town in Kalaburagi district after a dispute during a procession of a Lord Ram murti.
This comes a day after the 'pran pratishtha' of Ramlalla in Ayodhya temple on Monday (22 January).
The prohibitory orders under CrPC section 144, which will remain in force until 6 am on 25 January, have been issued as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order and prevent any untoward incident.
The quarrel erupted during the procession following an alleged stone-pelting incident between two groups.
To control the situation, police intervened and used 'mild' force to disperse the crowd.
The procession was being carried out to mark the 'pran pratishtha' of the murti of Lord Ram at the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
"It was just a quarrel....a heated argument which escalated. The situation was brought under control soon by our force. There is no tension in the area but as a precautionary measure, prohibitory orders have been imposed in the Wadi area of Chittapur taluk. It will remain in effect until 6 am on January 25. The situation is under control," a senior police officer was quoted as saying in a Livemint report.
