Four companies of policemen, including paramilitary forces, continued to be deployed around a disputed piece of land in Delhi Tuesday after people of one community staged protests that led to traffic jams in the city Monday.
"Four companies (450 personnel) of police have been deployed around the disputed land in the Jor Bagh area. The situation is under control," a police officer told IANS.
Thousands of motorists faced traffic snarls Monday due to the protest and religious gathering at the disputed land. The protesters were demanding ownership of the site.
