According to police, few months ago people from one community had got permission from the NMC to construct a bhavan in the open land. For this, they were mapping of the area since last week.

However, on Wednesday, people of from a community fixed two religious flags in the middle of the land. As soon as the other community saw the flags, they started abusing each other leading to open clashes.
