At a time when communal tensions are flaring up in Uttarakhand, a group of over 200 social justice organisations and N.G.O.s wrote to President Droupadi Murmu, condemning the role of government in the hate-filled campaign under way in the hill state and seeking immediate action to protect lives and properties.

During this, alleged abduction of a minor girl in Purola District, for which a Hindu man and a Muslim man have been arrested, has also led to tensions rise.
