Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh: Two days after clashes broke out between two communities over alleged desecration of a religious poster, things are returning to normal in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur district.
The local markets, government as well as private schools and colleges, which were closed after the clash, reopened today, with an exception of four affected areas, Chamanganj, Fazalganj, Nuabasta, and Sishamau, District Magistrate (DM), Kaushalraj Sharma said.
No untoward incident was reported from the city, but section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), which prohibits assembling of a large group of people, is still in place.
The Bhannapurwa area, where two policemen who were on patrol were injured when a mob had opened fire at them on Saturday, is especially under strict police protection, the DM said.
Members of two communities had engaged in a scuffle after poster of a Goddess was found on the ground at Darshanpurwa under Fazalganj police station here.
