Hyderabad: A visit by Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh Lodh to Jagdish Market in Abids on Sunday night over a perceived temple damage created communal tension. The police force, which was immediately deployed, controlled the situation from going out of hand..
A small platform enclosing electric pole inside the parking space opposite to the temple became the focal point. The temple known as Ammavari temple is inside the Jagdish market complex on the northern side. However the platform, which is not related to temple, has been used by tea vendor for some time for keeping water container.
A decision was taken by the Mobile Shop Owners Association to make way for the pedestrians within the parking space about three months ago. The platform was removed for installing railings near the temple about three months ago. However during the recent days, a new businessman named Sanjay, native of Maharashtra, who also runs a mobile shop, is believed to have whipped up the issue alleging that portion of temple was damaged.
The issue was taken up by the Raja Singh, who visited the spot on Sunday night, along with party activists’ numbering about 150. The police which swung into action immediately controlled the situation. On Monday, heavy bondobast was made by engaging more than 200 policemen.
Also dog squad was deployed inside the market, which remained closed till afternoon. The market was opened for outsiders during the afternoon. Police officials including DCP V B Kamalasan Reddy and Additional DCP Ram Mohan Rao and officials of Abids division visited the market to ensure peace. They spoke to Association leaders represented by both communities to sort out the issue.
