The civic body in Dhule, Maharashtra, demolished an allegedly illegal memorial of Tipu Sultan built by Dhule City All India Ittehadul Majlis-e-Muslimeen MLA Faruk Shah Anwar on a traffic junction. The MLA was reportedly told to remove it himself, but the memorial was ultimately broken after a meeting between the district collector and PWD officials. The situation in the area is peaceful, and no untoward incident has been reported. Protests and acrimony among communities in different parts of Maharashtra continue over the use of images of Tipu Sultan and Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in offensive and communally sensitive social media messages and status.
