Upon receiving information about a dispute concerning a 2-decimal approach path at Khunta Mouja under Nawadih Police Station limits, Deputy Commissioner Vijaya Jadhav and Superintendent of Police Manoj Swargiary reached the spot late on Monday night. Their prompt arrival and proactive involvement played a key role in de-escalating tensions and restoring public confidence.
Earlier, officials including the SDO, SDPO, BDO, CO, and station in-charges from surrounding police stations had reached the site and engaged with both parties. With the assistance of local panchayat members and the village head, the officials managed to bring the situation under control through calm dialogue and mature handling.
In the course of the intervention, one person from one of the disputing parties was taken into police custody. His family members were moved to a secure location to ensure their safety. The administration acted swiftly to prevent the situation from aggravating.
At the scene, the DC and SP personally interacted with both groups involved, gathered detailed information, and reviewed the land-related documents. They issued necessary instructions to the concerned officials and ensured that legal processes were followed diligently.
Since the incident unfolded, SDO Bermo Mukesh Machhua, SDPO Bermo V.N. Singh, along with other administrative officials and a strong police presence, have remained deployed at the location. Their continuous monitoring has helped in maintaining calm across the area.
Authorities confirmed that no flag had been uprooted from the disputed site, and the matter had no connection to the Ram Navami festival, as was being speculated in some circles.
The situation in the region remains peaceful. Magistrates and police personnel have been deputed on-site to ensure law and order. Both the DC and SP continue to personally supervise developments and have appealed to local residents to maintain peace and support the administration in preserving communal harmony.
Their hands-on approach and steady leadership in a sensitive moment have been widely appreciated by locals and officials alike.
