The situation in Shimla is under control now after the protesters demanding the demolition of an illegal structure in Shimla’s Sanjauli area were lathi-charged by security forces on Wednesday after they broke police barricades.
Many protesters and cops were injured in mild lathi-chage at Sanjauli and have been taken to hospital.
Also, most of the schools in Shimla have held the students back in schools after the situation worsened in Sanjauli.
Hundreds of protestors gathered at the Sabzi Mandi Dhalli and marched towards Sanjauli to lodge their protest and broke the barricades erected near the Dhalli tunnel.
As the protestors, who had gathered on the call of Hindu groups, broke the second barricade near the mosque, police resorted to lathi-charge and used water cannons to disperse them.
