A ‘Bharat Bandh’ called by several organisations today, and supported by some political parties, saw security forces clashing with protesters with reports of vandalism, stone-pelting and firing by police in not just Madhya Pradesh but also in the states of Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh. The Centre has asked the states to take preventive steps and maintain public order to ensure safety of lives and property. |

| The Supreme Court has declined an urgent hearing of plea on the ruling to do with the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Earlier today, the Centre had filed a plea in the top court seeking the restoration of the earlier status by which any offence under the SC/ST Act was made a cognizable non-bailable offence. The Supreme Court had last month barred automatic arrests on complaints filed under the SC/ST Act. It also said a preliminary inquiry must be conducted by police within seven days of an alleged incident before taking any action. |
