Were intel reports ignored before Haldwani demolition?
DEHRADUN: Amid the ongoing probe into the Haldwani violence triggered by the demolition of an alleged illegal madrassa, it has emerged that the Nainital district administration and police failed to act on intelligence reports provided to them.
Sources in the state home department said the issue arose during a meeting convened by CM Pushkar Singh Dhami with senior govt officials following the outbreak of riots. The source added, “The state intelligence unit, foreseeing potential trouble during the planned anti-encroachment action, made several recommendations to the district administration and police to prevent escalation into violence. Key suggestions included conducting a drone survey of the area to prepare security arrangements and ensuring adequate deployment of police and PAC force. Unfortunately, both measures were disregarded by the administration.”
Expanding on the report, the official said that another recommendation was to ensure that no religious books were left inside the structure slated for demolition. If any were found, they would be removed and stored in a safe place beforehand. “The CM took notice of these oversights and instructed the officials present to assign responsibility while taking decisive action against those involved in the violence,” he stated.
