The Haryana government on Thursday, August 3, 2023, said normalcy was returning to Nuh, where communal clashes broke out recently, and the situation there and neighbouring districts was under control. But the Congress termed the violence a failure of the ruling Bharatiya Janta Party-Jannayak Janta Party alliance government, demanding a probe under the High Court’s supervision.
Addressing a press conference, Haryana Additional Chief Secretary (Home) T.V.S.N. Prasad said a total of 93 FIRs had been registered so far and 176 individuals had been arrested in connection with the violence. Among these, 46 FIRs were filed in Nuh district, three in Faridabad district, 23 in Gurugram district, three in Rewari district, and 18 in Palwal district.
“The situation in Nuh and neighbouring districts is entirely under control,” he said. The situation in the Nuh area was gradually returning to normalcy, with Internet services temporarily suspended till Saturday. Further course of action would be determined after reviewing the situation, he said.
