Tension prevailed here after violent clashes between two groups over the installation of religious hoardings and boards belonging to different organisations which were holding two congregations (“jagratas”).The boards were being installed to publicise the “jagratas” near Mohalla Dharamkot on the Phagwara-Hoshiarpur road late last night.

An ASI of the Phagwara police Lal Chand sustained injuries while preventing the clash. One person, identified as Shamir Deep, was also injured in the clash.

Phagwara SP Harkamalpreet Singh Khakh rushed to the clash site and intervened in the matter to ease the situation.
