Hindu Groups Call Half-Day Bandh in Dhar Over Bhojshala Court Order Dispute
Hindu organisations in Madhya Pradesh's Dhar called for a half-day bandh protesting alleged incomplete implementation of court orders on the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Complex. They demand clearer monument boundaries and proper allocation of space for Friday namaz as directed by the Supreme Court. The administration increased security to maintain peace, stating the bandh was voluntary and the situation remained calm. The dispute follows a High Court ruling granting Hindus year-round worship rights and the Supreme Court's directive on prayer arrangements near the site.
