Three persons were killed and seven injured, including a policeman, in a clash in the old city area during a Tazia procession on the 10th day of Muharram today.
Curfew was imposed in the trouble-torn areas even as Muharram gatherings were cancelled. Besides the deployment of PAC and RAF personnel, security personnel had been alerted to keep a vigil to prevent any reaction to the clashes, especially in the areas inhabited by both sects, the Principal Secretary (Home), Alok Sinha, told reporters here.
