Uttam Nagar News Today: Tension continues to linger in Uttam Nagar as residents marked Eid ul Fitr under heavy security following a recent communal flare up that left one person dead. The place, especially the village of Hastsal and surrounding areas has come under close watch, with the mass deployment of Delhi police and the paramilitary forces. Barricades are established at major entry and exit points and severe identity checks are being conducted. The government has limited people to the movement of outsiders so that only certified dwellers can enter the select portions to avoid any form of escalation during the tense season.

Uttam Nagar News Today: The conflict arose due to a fight that took place during holi earlier this month when a 26 year old man was killed after being wounded during an argument between two neighbouring families in JJ Colony. The fight allegedly started because a water balloon unpredictably hit one of the women, and the conflict quickly went out of control. The event caused demonstrations, and certain groups were burning down cars associated with the defendant. Since then, police have arrested several people, who were attached to the case. The governments are also keeping a close observation of the social media to limit the spread of rumours and other inflammatory messages in order to keep the communally sensitive area calm.
