Gajendra YadavTwo days after violence erupted in Bjinor’s Pedda village, a dedicated police post has been set up, manned by one sub-inspector and five constables. It has been done to maintain peace in the area.”The authorities also held two meetings in the village Sunday to applaud the Muslim community for maintaining peace. That is why we decided to hold a meeting in the village Sunday with both the communities to maintain peace and harmony,” said MLA Ruchi Veera. Pedda village has 65 per cent Muslim population and, according to locals, around 1,500 voters. This village, along with Kachpura village — a Hindu-dominated village with a majority of Dalits — forms the Pedda gram panchayat with around 2,000 votes.
