Tension developed in Ujjain on Monday during an administrative action to remove a portion of the Shahi Masjid described as an obstruction to the planned road widening project. The road widening work is linked to the stretch between Kanthal Square and Gopal Temple. The situation became tense after protests and slogans were raised at the site.

The action was being carried out after discussions between the administration and members of the Muslim community. Following the discussions, some members of the community had reached the site to remove the portion of the mosque that was considered an obstruction to the road widening work.

Initially, the process was moving forward, but protests and slogans were reported during the action. As more people gathered at the location, the situation became tense and the police intervened to maintain order.

As the situation worsened, police used tear gas to control the crowd. At around noon, another incident of stone-pelting was reported. Police subsequently used baton charges to disperse the crowd and bring the situation under control.

Following the incident, additional police personnel were deployed in the area. Security arrangements were strengthened to prevent the situation from escalating further and to maintain law and order during the road widening operation.

Police have registered an FIR against 10 people in connection with the incident. Authorities are collecting information about the sequence of events and identifying those allegedly involved in the disturbance. Further action will be taken according to the investigation and applicable law.

Amid the tension, the city Qazi appealed to people to maintain peace and restraint. People were urged not to react to rumors or provocative information and to cooperate with efforts to restore normalcy.
