Raipur: A video has surfaced from Kawardha in Chhattisgarh claiming that the local Muslim mob uprooted the Hindu flag and then despised it. The incident in Kabirdham district has also witnessed clashes between Hindu and Muslim communities. While the Hindu flag was being uprooted and the crowd was disrespecting it, some policemen were also standing there as mute spectators.

An official informed that "A peace committee meeting was held with the people on Sunday (October 3, 2021). It had asked for the removal of religious flags from Lohara Chowk to maintain peace and harmony in view of the upcoming festivals. Both sides had agreed to it, but some youths from both communities reached the spot and there was a disturbance. Additional police forces rushed to the spot after which the situation was brought under control.'' Police said, the situation is under control at present and a large number of armies have been deployed at the spot. Section 144 of the CrPc has also been imposed in the area. But, so far, no one has been arrested in this case. People from both Hindu and Muslim communities reportedly wanted to put up their flag at the disputed site.

There is still tension between the two communities. A local journalist said that at first there was a verbal quarrel but later stone-pelting also started. The police also had to use mild force. The collector said that CCTV footage has been seen and ordered to identify and arrest the anarchic elements. Five years ago, the picture of Mother India was torn at this place, after which tension prevailed.
