Heavy security in Delhi's Jahangirpuri for Hanuman Jayanti procession
New Delhi (PTI): Heavy security has been put in place for a procession to be taken out on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti on Thursday in northwest Delhi's Jahangirpuri area, which was hit by communal violence last year.
According to the police, the organisers had sought permission for the Hanuman Jayanti procession in the Jahangirpuri area and the route has been regularised.
Hanuman Jayanti, which celebrates the birth of Lord Hanuman, is being observed on Thursday.
Special Commissioner of Police (law and order) Deependra Pathak said, "Hanuman Jayanti celebration at Jahangirpuri is being regulated in consultation with the organisers. We are ensuring that it takes place safely and securely."
The Ministry of Home Affairs on Wednesday asked all states to ensure law and order during Hanuman Jayanti on April 6 and monitor any factor that could disturb peace and harmony in society.
The MHA's advisory was aimed at sensitising law enforcement agencies following the communal violence last week.
Eight police personnel and a local were injured in stone-pelting and arson after clashes broke out between two communities in Jahangirpuri during a Hanuman Jayanti procession on April 16, 2022. Some vehicles were also torched.

Sister of Anjali Ambigera, who was stabbed to death, attempted suicide, says grandmother
Hubballi (PTI): Distressed over Anjali Ambigera's brutal murder four days ago, her sister Yashoda Ambigera attempted suicide, their grandmother Gangamma Ambigera has said.
Speaking to reporters, Gangamma said Yashoda consumed phenyl as she was missing Anjali.
Anjali was stabbed to death by her neibhour Girish Sawant on May 15 as she did not entertain his proposal for marriage.
Gangamma said Yashoda was also depressed because she felt her sister would not get justice, as the accused Girish Sawant was arrested and is "living comfortably" in police custody.
"Yashodha was upset that her sister was not getting justice and her murderer was leading a comfortable life and is getting good treatment in a hospital. So, she consumed it (phenyl). She is okay now," Gangamma said.
She demanded that the accused be "eliminated".
Meanwhile, the BJP charged that law and order has deteriorated in the state.
"Murderers are having a field day due to deteriorating law and order," Karnataka Leader of opposition R Ashoka alleged.
