Lucknow: Authorities
Thursday lifted curfew for 10 hours in Faizabad in Uttar Pradesh
and started a probe into the communal violence of last week.
A mass of Faizabad residents poured out of their homes to shop and
stock up food and other essentials as the curfew was relaxed at 8
a.m.
District Magistrate Deepak Agarwal also ordered an inquiry into
the conspiracy angle that is believed to have sparked off the
trouble in the city, which adjoins Ayodhya.
Educational institutions will be reopened, an official said.
Schools and colleges in Faizabad, about 120 km from here, were
closed after communal clashes broke out in the city during the
immersion ceremony of Goddess Durga idols last week.
The Uttar Pradesh government has started financially compensating
those whose shops or properties were vandalized or gutted.
"The administration has provided Rs.42 lakh to 99 people," an
official told IANS.
The compensation is likely to be distributed by the weekend in the
violence-hit villages of Bhadarsa, Shahganj and Rudauli, where the
unrest spread.
Four people, including a Bahujan Samaj Party leader, have been
arrested for their alleged role in the violence.
