Police is keeping vigil on prevailing condition. Another ‘mahapanchayat’, being oraganised by the minority community in Dehradun on Sunday, was also denied permission.

An eerie silence was witnessed in Uttarkashi’s Purola amid tight security in the wake of prohibitory orders imposed in the town before a Mahapanchayat called by Hindu organisations on Thursday.

Although the local administration has clearly said that they will not allow anyone to organise a mahapanchayat, but the pro-Hindutva outfits are adamant to hold the gathering.

Communal tension has been brewing in Purola and some other towns of Uttarkashi district after two men, one of them Muslim, allegedly tried to abduct a Hindu girl on May 26. The girl was rescued and the accused sent to judicial custody.

Local trade bodies and right wing Hindu outfits have run a sustained campaign against what they call were cases of “love jihad” in Purola and neighbouring towns, including Barkot, Chinyalisaur and Bhatwari.
