Rival groups of different faiths settle 50 years old land dispute

Prayagraj: A five-decade old land dispute between two groups of different communities was resolved with mutual understanding in the presence of police and revenue department officials and villagers in Prayagraj district.
The land dispute between rival camps had even led to communal clashes last year when a PAC battalion had to be deployed for a month at Chandrabhan Ka Pura in Hathiman village and an FIR was registered under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 504, 506, 427, 336, 307 and 34 of the IPC and 7 CLA Act.
The rival camps of Subhash Chandra Patel and Mohd Shamim agreed to end the five decades old land dispute through mutual understanding on Monday evening and set an example of maintaining peace and harmony in the area.
Trainee IPS officer and Station House Officer, Ghurpur Chirag Jain told TOI, “The rival groups of Subhash Chandra Patel, Arun Kumar Patel, Tulsiram Patel, Kausal Patel, and Mohammad Shamim, Rajif Ali, Mohd Safeeq, were at loggerheads over a land dispute for the past 50 years. They have solved their dispute amicably in the presence of police and revenue officials and villagers.”
