Muzaffarnagar violence: Security for VIPs, but none for us, say villagers to Gandhis

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President Sonia Gandhi, and vice president Rahul Gandhi will visit certain riot-affected localities in Muzaffarnagar district today.

"They will stay here for two hours during which they are expected to visit three relief camps where riot-hit people are taking shelter," District Magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma said.

Mr Sharma told PTI that they will also visit the residence of freelance journalist Rajesh Verma, who was among those killed in the violence.



After their arrival in Muzaffarnagar at around 10:00 AM, they will visit the rural Shahpur locality along with local leaders and administration officials, the District Magistrate said.

They are expected to go to relief camps at Basikalan, Tawli and Sanjhak, he said.

The area is about 30 km from district headquarters and some camps are still functioning as riot-hit people are staying there.

Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who visited the district yesterday, was greeted with black flags and slogan shouting by angry villagers.

A strong posse of state policemen and Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel will man each and every location in the city during the VVIP visit, official sources said.

The district administration has already made elaborate arrangements for the PM's visit with top officials from Lucknow camping here.

"Extra force has been provided to Meerut Zone for the Prime Minister's visit," IG (Law and Order) RK Vishwakarma told reporters in Lucknow.

Additional Director General of Police OP Singh would be the incharge of the overall security, he said.
