25 hurt in Godhra violence, curfew imposed

Godhra, September 5
Nearly 25 persons were injured when violence broke out here this evening during the Ganesha idol immersion procession, forcing the police to impose indefinite curfew at 5.30 p.m. 

Incidents of arson and stone-throwing forced the police to resort to the use of tear gas and baton-charge the rampaging mob, while eye witnesses said the immersion process remained incomplete. The police said those injured in the stone-throwing included Mr Vijay Joshi, DSP. — UNI
