Delhi Muharram Procession

A section of people taking out Muharram processions clashed with police and pelted stones at them, injuring around 10 cops and damaging several vehicles, after they were stopped from changing the designated route in west Delhi's Nangloi on Saturday.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena today held a meeting with the senior officials of Delhi police and Shia religious leaders over law and order situation for the Muharram procession to be carried on Saturday and Sunday.

Delhi Police on Thursday issued a traffic advisory in view of Tazia procession that will be taken out across the city on the occasion of Muharram.

Anticipating traffic congestion on several roads on account of Muharram which will be observed on Wednesday, Delhi Traffic Police today issued an advisory for people to take alternative routes to avoid jams.

The Muharram processions in Outer Delhi's Bawana area and east Delhi's Trilokpuri passed off peacefully today amid heavy police deployment. While Trilokpuri had witnessed violent clashes after Diwali, Bawana was tense after a 'Mahapanchayat' on Sunday.

Days after communal clashes, Trilokpuri in Delhi will see Hindus leading Muslim processions for Muharram on Tuesday, in a show of harmony aimed at calming tempers.

Provocative posters and speeches have raised fears of a communal flare-up in Bawana in north Delhi, where a "Mahapanchayat" or meeting on Sunday urged people to oppose a procession for Muharram on Tuesday.
