| Hindus, Muslims clash over parking in Gujarat |
| 2004-08-15 |
| Hindus and Muslims torched houses and shops in a fresh bout of religious clash in riot-scarred Gujarat on Sunday after a row over parking of vehicles, a police officer said. The clashes erupted in Petlad town after a group of Hindus objected to Muslims parking their motorised rickshaws in one part of the town, police superintendent B.H.Jabalia said. Police fired warning shots in the air and used tear gas to break up the clashes, he said. An indefinite curfew has been imposed on the town which is 80 km south of Ahmedabad. |
