Khargone/Barwani (MP), Apr 10 : Prohibitory orders were imposed on Sunday in Khargone district headquarters following arson, stone-pelting and other disturbances. “Police used tear gas to bring the situation under control after stones were pelted prior to commencement of a Ram Navami procession at Talab Chowk,” Sub-Divisional Magistrate Milind Dhoke confirmed. In the evening, stones were allegedly hurled at a crowd of devotees heading to participate in the main procession on Jogwada Road in Barwani’s Sendhwa town.
