The Garhwal Region of Uttarakhand in India has been experiencing tension due to a range of incidents, including an alleged 'love jihad' case involving a Muslim youth and a minor girl. Posters asking Muslim traders to leave the town of Purola have also appeared, leading to the departure of some traders. The situation has led to the calling of a 'Mahapanchayat' (mass gathering) by right-wing organisations on 15 June, which has been banned by the local administration. Former bureaucrats have also called for a ban on the gathering and expressed concern over the lack of action taken against those responsible for the incidents.
