Section 144 has been imposed in Bodhan town of Nizamabad district of Telangana after members of two political groups clashed over the installation of a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
The local BJP MP said there were plans to put up a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji at Ambedkar Square in Bodhan town, which borders Maharashtra.
He alleged that AIMIM and TRS workers objected to the installation of the statue and tried to intervene. The matter took a violent turn and AIMIM and TRS supporters launched a front against BJP and Shiv Sena workers.
Prohibitory orders (Section 144) have been imposed to prevent further escalation of tension in the area. The police is trying to solve the matter by talking to both the groups involved in the scuffle.
