Two shrines belonging to two different communities share a common land. Recently, under Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLAD) funds were sanctioned for the village. On March 21, one of the communities built a wall between the two shrines using those funds. The next morning, when the other community came to know about the wall, it opposed the decision. A common meeting was called to resolve the issue. But, the discussion went out of control and resulted in a clash.
