The police are on their toes to prevent a repeat of the incident when a year ago violence broke out at Maharashtra's Koregaon Bhima between Dalits and right-wing groups. At least 5,000 police personnel, 1,200 Home Guards and 12 companies of the Rapid Action Force and the State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) have been deployed in and around the war memorial at Koregaon Bhima, dedicated to a battle that saw Dalit soldiers fighting with the British and defeating the army of the upper caste Peshwas or rulers.
