Authorities Calm Crowd After Protest at Shri Siddh Ganesh Hanuman Temple

Late on Monday night, a crowd gathered outside the Gwarighat temple demanding that stalls run by Muslim shopkeepers be removed. The police, led by Additional SP Surya Kant Sharma, intervened, separating the demonstrators from the temple premises. After hearing both parties, the officers emphasized that the temple committee controls stall allocation and that any concerns should be addressed through discussion. The protest dissipated without any clashes, and the temple resumed its regular flow of devotees for the ongoing festivities.
