Ujjain Shahi Masjid Row: Tear Gas, Lathi Charge After Clashes Over Road Widening | Latest Updates

Tension erupted in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain after protests over the removal of a portion of the Shahi Masjid for a road-widening project turned violent. Stones were hurled at police personnel, following which tear gas was used and a lathi charge was carried out to disperse the crowd. Heavy security, including Rapid Action Force personnel, has been deployed around the mosque. The dispute is linked to road widening ahead of the Simhastha 2028 religious gathering. The Ujjain administration says the project is part of a wider infrastructure plan to accommodate the expected influx of pilgrims. The Madhya Pradesh High Court had earlier dealt with petitions challenging the proposed removal, while the legal proceedings around the road-widening action continue to be watched closely. #NDTVIndia #Ujjain #UjjainShahiMasjid #ShahiMasjid #UjjainProtest #UjjainClashes #UjjainViolence #TearGas #LathiCharge #StonePelting #RoadWidening #Simhastha2028 #MadhyaPradesh #MPNews #NDTVDigitalOriginals About NDTV (English news channel): NDTV is India's Most-Trusted News Broadcaster with the latest updates in news, sports, entertainment and much more from within India and around the world.
