Massive police build-up was made in the Himachal Pradesh capital on Wednesday to prevent untoward incidents owing to a protest call by Hindu outfits over the five-storeyed structure of a mosque in the densely populated Sanjauli area.
As a precaution, the local administration has imposed Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita of 2023 which bars the assembly of more than five people without permission and the carrying of lethal weapons and arms.
Over 1,000 police personnel along with the Quick Response Team have been deployed in the Sanjauli area, officials said.
