After authorities demolished an illegal madrasa in Haldwani, Uttarakhand, clashes erupted with miscreants throwing stones at police and setting vehicles on fire, including a police car. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami issued shoot-at-sight orders in Banbhulpura, imposing a curfew. Schools in Haldwani are closed on Friday. The municipal corporation conducted the demolition, leading to retaliation and injuries to officials. Vandalized vehicles, a torched transformer, and trapped individuals in the police station further escalated tensions. Additional forces were deployed, and a curfew imposed to restore order, with strict action promised against those committing violence and arson.
