The dispute that started over the name of a clothing shop located at Patel Marg in Kotdwar, Uttarakhand, continued to escalate in the last two days and now the matter has reached the police station via the road. This dispute, which was initially limited to alleged misbehavior and protest, has now become the reason for police action, FIR and strictness of the administration. Considering the seriousness of the situation, Pauri Police is keeping a close watch on the entire matter.

According to the information, objection was raised regarding the name of a clothing shop located on Patel Marg. It is alleged that during this time some youths misbehaved with the workers associated with Bajrang Dal. The next day, a large number of Bajrang Dal workers reached Kotdwar in protest against this incident. Activists from other districts first took out a procession in the city and later gathered at Malviya Udyan and demonstrated.

The atmosphere during the demonstration became more tense when some protesters reached outside the gym of the concerned youth. Seeing the situation worsening, the police had to deploy additional forces on the spot and after much effort the protesters were removed from there. Due to the promptness of the police, any major untoward incident was averted.
