Nihang Sikhs Mobilize at Uttarakhand Border Seeking Resolution After Karnaprayag ClashPreviousNext

Following a violent parking dispute on June 16 in Karnaprayag, Uttarakhand, involving Nihang Sikh pilgrims and local residents, four Nihang Sikhs were arrested. In response, hundreds of Nihang Sikhs gathered near the Uttarakhand-Himachal Pradesh border, seeking a peaceful resolution and fair investigation. Despite talks with authorities, their planned march into Uttarakhand proceeded amid heightened security and efforts to prevent escalation. Sikh groups aim to support detained members and request case withdrawal, while police maintain law and order.
