The Indian Army and police opened direct fire on Sikh protestors in Himachal Pradesh. The Indian Army and the Sikh community are currently facing each other at the Himachal Pradesh–Uttarakhand border.
Around 300 Nihangs marching from Mohali to Uttarakhand were stopped by police at barricades set up along the Himachal Pradesh–Uttarakhand border.
The Nihangs are protesting the arrests made after a sword clash in Karnaprayag on June 16, which reportedly began over a parking dispute. Earlier this week, authorities peacefully resolved a standoff involving Nihangs on the rooftop of a gurdwara in Rudraprayag. Officials have deployed heavy security in the area.
