Security measures have been beefed up everywhere as Haryana's Nuh gets ready for another religious Shobha Yatra that has been requested by Sarv Jatiya Hindu Mahapanchayat despite police authorities refusing permission. The ‘Shobha Yatra’ has been called for today (28 August). The VHP has chosen to proceed with the shobha yatra even though permission has been denied for it.
According to Shatrujeet Kapur, director general of police for Haryana, the government had refused permission for the yatra because of a G20 Sherpa Group meeting that was slated to take place in Nuh from September 3 to 7.
Ahead of the VHP's call for procession, Inspector Kuldeep Singh, Haryana Police said "Security arrangements have been made in view of Vishwa Hindu Parishad's (VHP) call for Yatra today. The situation is peaceful here. Permission has not been granted to conduct 'Yatra'. Only locals of Nuh are allowed to enter the district, outside vehicles are returned from this point"
Outsiders will be barred from entering Nuh and security has been beefed up in the district and other areas in view of the Sarv Jatiya Hindu Mahapanchayat's call for a 'shobha yatra' today, despite the authorities denying permission for the procession. Officials said police and paramilitary forces have been deployed to keep a strict vigil while security at inter-state and inter-district borders has also been tightened.
