Muslims offer Id prayers in Delhi’s communally charged Uttam Nagar amid heavy police presence

Delhi’s Uttam Nagar, where a localised clash left a man dead and triggered communal tensions in the area, is observing Eid-ul-Fitr in a subdued atmosphere amid tight security on Saturday.

A heavy deployment of Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel has been put in place across Hastsal village and adjoining localities, with barricades erected at entry and exit points and strict identity checks are in effect, an official said.
