Mahapanchayat today to plan yatra's resumption

The Sarv Hindu Samaj, a community group, has called for a maha panchayat in Nuh on Sunday near a village on Nuh-Palwal border to discuss the preparations for resuming the Brajmandal Dharmik Yatra, which was disrupted on July 31 after stone pelting and clashes.

Leaders of the group said on Saturday that they plan to resume the procession on August 28 from Nalhar village in Nuh,.

Members of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal will also take part in the panchayat at Pondri-Kira border village, they said.

Pondri falls under Palwal and Kira falls under Nuh district.

The organisers shared posters on various social media platforms announcing the mahapanchayat. "The yatra is reportedly being organised to boost the confidence of Hindus," said the poster, which also mentions the violence during the July 31 yatra following which six people were killed and 88 others injured.

Both Nuh and Palwal superintendents of police said that they have denied permission for holding the maha panchayat.
