Amid the violence in Haryana’s Nuh, curfew imposed in various districts and surrounding areas since days is now lifted in Nuh for four hours.

"Curfew will be relaxed on Monday, August 7 as well. People can move from 9 am in the morning to 1 pm in the afternoon," Nuh Deputy Commissioner Dhirendra Khadgata has issued orders.

The letter signed by Dhirendra Khadgata, Deputy Commissioner, Nuh said, "Keeping in view the information received from the Police department, in the exercise of the powers vested in me by virtue of Section-144 of the code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, I, Dhirendra Khadgata, IAS, District Magistrate, Nuh do hereby lift the curfew for the movement of public from 9 am to 1 pm (4 hours only) on August 7, 2023 (Except banks for which separate order has been issued)."

Internet ban still continue

"Ban on the internet will continue for now. Once we will witness changes in the situation we will lift it. An extra one hour has been added to the movement of the public from tomorrow when the Curfew will be lifted," said Dhirendra Khadgata. 

Reason behind Nuh violence

The clash was triggered by an objectionable video posted on social media by a Bajrang Dal activist.

Bajrang Dal member Monu Manesar and his friends, who are accused in several criminal cases, shared the video a few days ago and openly challenged that he would stay in Mewat throughout the yatra.

Many claim to have spotted them during the yatra, and the villagers are said to have retaliated.
