Delhi's Bawana Tense on Muharram, Police Keeping a Close Watch

There is massive police deployment in northwest Delhi's Bawana to prevent any communal flare-up on Muharram, being observed today. The area has been tense after provocative posters were put up and speeches were made at a "Mahapanchayat" or meeting on Sunday - attended by a BJP legislator Gugan Singh Ranga and a Congress councilor, Devender Kumar - calling for a change in the route of the Taziya procession that will be taken out today as part of Muharram, which marks the death of Prophet Mohammad's grandson in the battle of Karbala.
