The jam started when the residents of Ghaziabad protesting the demolition of unauthorised colonies on the bank of river Hindon and neighbouring areas blocked traffic and hurled stones at police. They also set afire vehicles, blocked traffic and indulged in heavy stone-pelting on Saturday. They set ablaze 6 vehicles of on N.H. 24 near Vijay Nagar.
Atleast 25 people were injured, which included seven policemen, in this act of violence. This sparked long traffic hurdles and there was a massive traffic jam which got extended to 10kms. It was also known that Police swung batons and fired teargas shells to scatter the protesters. The residents also say that there were air firings but the officials denied it.
It is a very shameful thing that such incidents just keep happening across the country for no basic reason, also the people who got injured or the vehicles that were set ablaze had nothing to do with the situation. Things such as this always harm the general public and trouble the common man. The people who had been victim to such violent acts were common people who just happened to be caught at the wrong place and at the wrong time. I think it is high time that we grow up and act more sensibly and be more responsible so that incidents like these don't happen again.
