CUNCOLIM: Bapsora Betul experienced tense situation on Friday evening over the celebration of Krishna Janmashthami.
Police said that the local Hindu community had gathered at Bapsora on Friday after getting information that some locals forced the mandap contractor to remove the mandap erected for the celebration.
Situation became tense when two groups confronted each other over the celebration of the Hindu festival on Church property. The same issue had erupted some months back during Dussehra celebration.
The local Hindu group then lodged a complaint at Cuncolim police station alleging that some locals were not allowing them to perform their religious rites.
Police then called both parties and solved the issue. Later in the evening, the Hindu group was allowed to erect the mandap.
