MAINTAINING VIGIL: Rapid Action Force personnel patrol an area in Indore on Tuesday after 163 persons were rounded up for alleged involvement in rioting.

BHOPAL: Curfew was relaxed in Indore between 3 and 6 p.m. on Tuesday and no untoward incident was reported from the city. Three police station areas were brought under curfew on Monday following clashes between members of two communities.

A peace march, which Ministers Himmat Kothari and Kailash Vijayvargiya joined, was taken out through a two-km route passing through the disturbed areas in the afternoon. Community leaders and people belonging to different religions participated. They raised slogans to reassert the spirit of secularism and communal amity.

Home Minister Nagendra Singh told The Hindu that the situation in Indore was under control. He said extra police force had been rushed.
