At least seven persons were injured, 35 houses and seven country boats burnt in a group clash at Brahmapur village in Krushna Prasad Tehsil in the Chilika lake area of Puri district today.
The clash between two groups originated during Ganesh idol immersion last night. At least two platoons (about 60 personnel) police force was deployed at the village to maintain law and order situation, said Krushnaprasad Police Station Inspector-In-Charge Subhas Panda.
As the village is situated in the bank of Chilika lake with no road connectivity, police required time to reach at the spot where crude bombs were exchanged besides blank firing by the rival groups this morning.
Though situation remained tensed, it is under control, Panda said.
