An uneasy calm prevailed at the Jawahar Bagh in Mathura on Saturday where the deadly clashes between followers of the Azad Bharat Vidhik Vaichark Kranti Satyagrahi and police took place on Friday.
The smoke and fire at the site of the violence has yet not been doused completely, a horticulture department official told dna.
On the ground in Mathura, messages slamming the RBI currency are a common scene on the district court road near Jawahar Bagh.
The message on the wall read, "Azad Hind Currency Rupya Bharat Main Chalegi, Bharatiya Reserve Bank Currency Rupya, Bharat Main Nahin Chalegi Ab."

Police had clashed with about 3,000 followers of obscure sect which had encroached on 260 acres government land. Twenty-four people, including an SP and SHO, were killed in the violence which took place when police went to evict the sect from the land.
HEAD OF THE SECT AND SON MISSING
There has been no clarity on the whereabouts of the head of the sect, Ram Vriksha Yadav and his son since the clashes broke out. While the police and district administration have been mum on this issue, locals claim that the duo have been killed in the clash on Friday and their bodies have been burnt.
Meanwhile, politics over the death of cops continued on Saturday with the BJP demanding CBI inquiry into the clashes and Rs 1 crore as compensation for the families of the slain policemen, Mukul Dwivedi (SP) and Santosh Yadav (SO).
Earlier in the day, BJP MP from Mathura, Hema Malini was stopped from entering the violence-hit Jawahar Bagh area citing security reasons and the ongoing combing operation. She addressed the supporters on Saturday and condoled the death of the policemen.
"I am grieved at the loss of two diligent and arduous police officers," the BJP MP said.
She slammed the District Administration for lapses and said there would not have been so much loss if the situation was handled properly.
