#WATCH | Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh: SP Pradeep Sharma says, "...all communities and sections of society are continuously extending their cooperation and support in their respective areas. Even today, the demolition work, initiated by the mosque committee itself, is underway at the Shahi Masjid. As a precautionary measure, a full security perimeter has been established, and entry is prohibited for everyone. However, certain miscreants attempted to create a disturbance and resorted to stone-pelting. The police personnel present at the scene responded by using tear gas and mild force to disperse the crowd. Leaders from the Muslim community are also issuing video messages urging calm... The situation is now fully under control. The demolition work by the mosque committee is continuing steadily..."

He adds, "We had anticipated this and conducted thorough briefings and multiple meetings to discuss every aspect. It is precisely because of this planning that we cleared the entire Chhatri Chowk area; there is no crowd here now, and a global security perimeter is in place. Some police personnel sustained minor injuries during the stone-pelting incident, but they remain alert and ready for duty. We utilized tear gas to manage the situation. The entire area is being monitored via CCTV and drones. We have also been keeping a close watch on social media. Individuals who came from outside the district to incite trouble were detained by the police at the border late last night and have been taken into custody at various police stations. We will now identify the perpetrators using CCTV and drone footage and register FIRs against those found involved. An attempt to block the road was also made by some women; however, after being counseled and shown video footage of the situation, they withdrew the blockade. The road is open. I appeal to everyone to please cooperate; if anyone engages in such activities, strict action will be taken against them. As you can all see, this entire undertaking is being carried out by the committee itself, with everyone's consent."
