00:00 In India, on Monday, tensions rose in the locality of Noh, as a Hindu extremist group
00:05 called for the continuation of a religious celebration that triggered a wave of violence
00:10 between Hindus and Muslims earlier this month, which resulted in six deaths.
00:15 The local police deployed almost 2,000 troops in the area after a Hindu religious procession
00:20 organized by the Vishna Hindu Parishad group in the Muslim-Muslim town of Haryana was attacked
00:26 by a mob on July 31.
00:28 The violence spread over the next few days to several cities in the state and left six
00:33 people dead.
00:34 This forced the authorities to impose curfews and internet shutdowns.
00:39 In that sense, authorities point out that the event called for this Monday defies the
00:43 refusal of the district administration to grant a permit to celebrate the Hindu festival,
00:48 alleging the prevention of new clashes.
