Sangli (Maharashtra): Communal clashes had broken out at in Miraj
town and Sangli city last week. Trouble started on September 3 (Anant Chaturdashi
Day), when some pro-Hindutva organisations tried to raise an arch on the immersion
procession route, depicting the killing of the Mughal warrior Afzal Khan by Maratha
King Shivaji. This led to group clashes. An all party meeting was held in Mumbai
on Tuesday during which a peace formula was worked out. Meanwhile, Sarvajanik
Ganesh mandal representatives in Miraj have decided to immerse the idols tomorrow.
