The expedited execution of state and centrally sponsored schemes, coupled with the efforts of peace committees, has brought stability to Nuh. Enhancing the supply chain for onion growers, providing modern education in madrasas, and creating platforms for potters are among the government’s initiatives aimed at fostering self-reliance in Nuh. The tehsil, local administration, panchayat, civic body offices, and prominent citizens have rallied in support of this campaign.
Some of the peace committee members shared,how the situation had improved from August. They claim that the riots were engineered from outside, while the locals had no reason to clash. State’s deputy leader of opposition Aftab Ahmed, who is also legislator of Nuh, agreed that the situation had normalised but differed on crediting it to the government.
He said: “Many announcements are made but then those projects get stalled over the year. I have seen farmers scurry for crop compensation.”
Ferozepur Jhirka’s former MLA Azad Mohammad said: “Nuh lived in fear for months, but the peace committees, locals, and administration worked together and restored its confidence in law.” Maulana Yahya Karimi endorsed his opinion, saying: “The administration now gives us a patient hearing and its officials try to solve our problems.
Our schools and hospitals are now well-staffed, while the nursing college project is in an advanced stage.”
Six people — two Home Guards volunteers and the rest civilians, including a Muslim cleric — had died, while several people were injured in the riots. Many vehicles — both public and private — were torched, while a cybercrime police station was attacked in the violence that erupted after the Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s annual Braj Mandal Yatra was attacked on July 31.
