Tensions gripped Tarana town in Ujjain district after a Thursday night brawl escalated into Friday’s stone-throwing frenzy between two communities. Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav, speaking from Jabalpur, condemned the unrest and affirmed his government’s prowess in maintaining stability.
Eyewitness accounts and viral footage depict a minor dispute turning violent, with attackers targeting a Hindu group member and associate. Retaliatory stone pelting prompted immediate police mobilization, leading to prohibitory orders under BNS Section 163 and extensive patrols.
SP Pradeep Sharma reported 20 detentions, ongoing probes via CCTV, and peace committees with locals. ‘Heavy security is deployed to prevent repeats; appeals for restraint continue,’ he noted. Rumors are being countered to avoid panic.
Yadav, known for his governance focus, reiterated: ‘We deliver continuous good administration, tackling lapses decisively. No one disrupting Madhya Pradesh’s peace will escape our reach.’
This flare-up tests administrative mettle in communally sensitive zones. With arrests and dialogues progressing, control is established, but vigilance persists. Yadav’s declaration reinforces a policy of stringent enforcement, aiming to foster lasting peace and public confidence in state mechanisms.
