Indo-Asian News Service || Shimla, February 13, 2010

Normal life was hit in the Himachal Pradesh capital on Saturday as private business establishments adhered to the shutdown call by various Hindu organisations and remained closed to protest the slaughter of a cow near Shimla.

Eyewitnesses said activists of the Bajrang Dal and other organisations staged a demonstration in the city and forced the shopkeepers to close their shops. However, there was no report of any untoward incident.

The Hindu organisations have called for a shutdown from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Violent protests erupted Friday in villages of Shimla district over the slaughter. A mosque and a few shops that were open were attacked at Nerwa, some 120 km from here.

Superintendent of Police R.M. Sharma told IANS that the situation in Shimla was under control.

“We have deployed more than 200 (extra) police personnel in Shimla to monitor the situation. Law and order will be maintained,” he said.

In the villages, however, life returned to normal on Saturday.

Himachal villages calm after protests over cow slaughter

Shimla, Feb 13 – Normalcy returned to the villages of Himachal Pradesh’s Shimla district Saturday after violent protests over the slaughter of a cow, police said.

‘The situation is under control today (Saturday) in almost all the villages where violent protests erupted over the cow slaughter. Additional forces have been deployed there to monitor the situation,’ Superintendent of Police R.M. Sharma told IANS.

A mosque and a few shops were attacked Friday afternoon.

Around 4,000 people from various villages gathered at Nerwa, some 120 km from state capital Shimla, Friday to lodge their protest over the cow slaughtered by a member of a minority community Thursday.

The protesters later turned violent and damaged a madrassa at Kothar village near Nerwa, breaking its windowpanes and setting furniture on fire. A mosque at Nerwa was also attacked and a motorcycle set afire.

The shops were closed as a mark of protest and the mob also attacked and damaged some shops that were open.

Meanwhile, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and other Hindu organisations Saturday called for a shutdown in Shimla from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

‘We have deployed more than 200 police personnel in Shimla to monitor the situation. Nobody will be allowed to disturb law and order,’ Sharma said.

   cows are holy jeeva according to Hindu mythology in Hindu dharma she is mother. in this time flesh of cows are eaten by the people (non Hindu). this is very shameful for India that cows are slaughtering..ye desh gopal ka hai jahan parbramha shri krishna ne gaye charayi vahan aaj kati ja rahi hain. gauhatya par purna pratibandh hona hi chahiye.
