The Opposition BJP leaders boycotted a meeting of the peace committee convened by the district administration in Jodhpur on Wednesday following a clash between two communities, even as the curfew imposed in 10 police station limits of the city remained in force for the second consecutive day.
There were no fresh incidents of violence reported from anywhere in the city.
Police have registered 12 first information reports in connection with the violence. They arrested 141 persons both under sections of the Indian Penal Code and Section 151 (arrest to prevent the commission of cognisable offences) of the Criminal Procedure Code. As many as nine policemen were injured in the violence.
