Sambhal security beefed up before December 6; authorities to put up posters of violence accused

Sambhal: Sambhal administration said it will put up posters of those involved in the November 24 violence, while police beefed up security in the district on Thursday, a day before December 6 - the day Babri mosque in Ayodhya was demolished by the Hindu right in 1992.

Police also estimated the arson and vandalism damage in the Sambhal violence to be worth more than ₹1 crore.

"We will put up posters of those involved in Sambhal violence," district magistrate Rajender Pensiya told PTI. He said the authorities have identified more than 400 people in connection with the violence that broke out last month over a local mosque survey.


"There is a peace committee meeting at 3 pm and we will discuss the situation with everyone," he said, adding: "We are designing it (poster)."
