The Odisha government on Sunday night imposed prohibitory orders in 13 police station areas and suspended internet services in parts of Cuttack after fresh violence left 25 people injured, following a recent group clash during a Durga idol immersion procession, PTI reported.
Police Commissioner S. Dev Datta Singh said the prohibitory orders would remain in force for 36 hours from 10 pm on Sunday. The restrictions cover the police station areas of Dargah Bazaar, Mangalabag, Cantonment, Purighat, Lalbag, Bidanasi, Markat Nagar, CDA Phase-2, Malgodam, Badambadi, Jagatpur, Bayalis Mouza and Sadar, he told reporters.
The state government had earlier suspended internet services in areas under the Cuttack Municipal Corporation, the Cuttack Development Authority (CDA) and the adjoining Bayalis Mauza region from 7 pm on Sunday till 7 pm on Monday to prevent the spread of misinformation, PTI reported.
According to officials, the fresh violence broke out after the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) organised a motorcycle rally in the evening, defying the district administration’s orders. Commissioner Singh said participants in the rally turned violent when stopped by security personnel from entering a sensitive area, PTI reported.
“As the rally participants’ entry into the sensitive area was aimed to create disharmony, the police stopped them, following which they started pelting stones. The personnel had to resort to mild lathicharge and use tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse them,” Singh said.
