Nuh Yatra Commences Peacefully Amid Heavy Security

Nuh, Haryana – The Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) organized the Braj Mandal Jal Abhishek Yatra on Monday morning, which commenced peacefully under heavy police deployment. The yatra, which had resulted in communal clashes last year, saw over 5,000 police and paramilitary personnel deployed throughout the district to ensure safety.

Route and Participation

The yatra began from Nalhar Mahadev Mandir in Nuh, with devotees proceeding towards Singar Temple via Jhir Mandir in Ferozepur Jhirka, covering around 80 km. Haryana Forest and Environment Minister Sanjay Singh, Waqf Board Administrator Zakir Hussain, BJP District President Narendra Patel, and Nalhareswar Temple Committee Patron Gurucharan Singh Malik welcomed the devotees in Nuh. They accompanied the devotees to the Singar Temple.

Communal Harmony

Members of the Muslim community welcomed the devotees, arranging refreshments and setting up pandals at designated points. Bajrang Dal functionary Kulbhushan Bhardwaj noted the positive interactions, stating, “Those who pelted stones on us last year showered flowers. They welcomed us and greeted us with warmth.”

The devotees gathered at Nalhar Mahadev Temple around 11 am, spending an hour there before starting the procession. A large group of local women also arrived at the temple, receiving a warm welcome from the Muslim community at Tiranga Chowk.

Security Measures

To ensure the safety of the yatra, the Haryana government suspended mobile internet services in Nuh district for 24 hours. Nuh Superintendent of Police Vijay Pratap Singh mentioned that surveillance was conducted through drones. “The police teams patrolled and were deployed with the procession, keeping a close watch on vehicular movement to prevent any disruptions,” he said.

Historical Context

Last year’s clashes on July 31 resulted in the deaths of six people, including two home guards and a Gurugram mosque cleric, after a mob attacked the procession. This year’s peaceful yatra marks a significant improvement in communal harmony and security management.
