Tension gripped Chhattisgarh's Bemetara district on Saturday after a child was thrashed by a few people prompting a clash between two groups reportedly belonging from separate faiths, leading to the death of a person, the police said.
After a clash broke out between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress supporters on April 6, section 144 of Crpc on Friday has been imposed in the Shorapur constituency of Yadgir district for two days.
After receiving the information, five fire tenders were sent to the sport and the fire was brought under control within an hour, said fire department officials.
