On Thursday, a large number of Delhi Police officers were deployed in the city's Jahangirpuri area to maintain law and order in the aftermath of a yatra to commemorate Ram Navami that had been denied permission.
The news comes after the Delhi Police denied permission to hold the Shree Ram Bhagwan Pratima Yatra and offer Ramzan prayers in the same area on Monday.
An official order signed by the Assistant Commissioner of Police, HQ, Northwest district, issued on Monday said: "I am directed to inform you that your request for Shree Ram Bhagwan Pratima Yatra on the occasion of Ram Navami Mahotsav on Thursday has been considered by the competent authority but could not be acceded to from the law and order point of view."
