IANS Lucknow

Tension prevailed in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday when a boundary wall of a religious structure was found razed.

Angry people protested the demolition in Bangarmau area this morning, but district civil and police officials reached the spot and pacified the protesters. A meeting of the 'Peace Committee' in the district was also called.

The wall has since been reconstructed in presence of Superintendent of Police Pushpanjali and other senior officials. Things are "normal" now, an official told IANS.

The police suspects the wall was razed late Friday night or early Saturday morning by inebriated youths celebrating Holi. Police said there were no eyewitnesses to the demolition.

 

Extra police has been deployed on the Bilhaur bypass in Bangarmau after the incident.
