Corona infection has also had an impact on the tradition of Hingot Yudh, which has been going on for almost 200 years in Indore. The Indore administration has not allowed the Hingot war this time and that is why people will not get to see the Hingot war this time. Hingot war has been organized in Gautampura, close to Indore, for the last two centuries, this festival takes place on the next day of Deepawali. 

The traditional Hingot Yudhha in Gautampura could not be organised after the orders from the district administration due to the COVID-19 situation this year. Some people, who were seen with Hingot, were detained by the police from Runaji area on Sunday night. A day after Diwali, the traditional Hingot war is organized in Gautampura where thousands of people throng every year but due to COVID-19 outbreak, the district administration didn’t give permission to organize the function. Gautampura police station in-charge Ramesh Chandra Bhaskare said that the police were deployed at the ground where the program is organized. However, the people and the political parties have cooperated with the police and they talked with the organizers of the program. On Sunday evening, the police received information that some men with Hingot are creating ruckus in Runaji area after which the police team reached there and detained some men from there. After seizing Hingot, they were released by the police after warning.
