==========
Violent communal clashes erupted in Jodhpur's Sursagar area on Friday over the construction of an Eidgah gate. Tensions escalated after residents opposed the construction, saying it would increase movement in the area. Stone-pelting, arson, and vandalism occurred, resulting in injuries to several individuals, including two police officers. A shop, tractor, and Bolero vehicle were burned. Over 50 individuals were arrested, and tear gas shells were deployed. Section 144 has been enforced in the Pratapnagar Circle police station area. This is the third time such tensions have arisen in the past five years. Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat emphasized Jodhpur's reputation as a city of peace and harmony. Rajasthan government minister Jogaram Patel condemned the incident and vowed not to allow the communal atmosphere to be spoiled.
