Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh): The city has turned into a cantonment following rising tension over Ambedkar statue controversy. The administration has deployed 4k police personnel across major areas, with IG, DIG, SP and Collector personally monitoring the situation.

Ambedkar supporters had announced a major protest on Wednesday, prompting strict security across Gwalior. Barricades have been set up at more than 50 locations and checks are being conducted on every passerby.

The dispute began six months ago over installing Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar’s statue in the High Court premises. A clash between lawyers supporting and opposing the plan led to prolonged unrest.
