High drama unfolded in Jainpur village, Etah (UP) when members of the Dalit community blocked a Kalash Yatra being carried out by Thakur women and children as part of a religious Bhagwat Katha. As the procession entered the Dalit locality, residents objected, citing denial of permission for an Ambedkar Jayanti rally earlier. Heated arguments broke out between both groups, creating communal tension. For nearly two hours, women with kalash stood in the scorching sun as police attempted to mediate. SHO Sudhir Kumar Singh and senior officials arrived with force and eventually calmed both sides. After much negotiation, the Kalash Yatra was allowed to proceed. The situation is now under control, with peace restored in the village.┬аRahul Gandhi Alleges BJP-NDA Fear Dialogue With Dalits, Walks to Ambedkar Hostel Despite Police Resistance in BiharтАЩs Darbhanga (Watch Videos).
