Communal tension prevailed in Kheteta village under Aliganj police station area of Bareilly district when a madarsa wall was partially damaged on Friday, following a dispute over prayer site.
SP (rural), Brijesh Srivastava on Saturday said that there was a move to start Friday namaz in a private madarsa after installing a shed over a new wall which was being opposed by the majority community claiming that there was no such tradition
Late last night, the new wall of the madarsa was partially damaged and police and RAF rushed there to ward off any clash.
Both the sides were pacified and the damaged wall was got repaired on condition that no "new tradition" of Friday prayers would be started there.
