New Delhi: Curfew imposed in Solapur, Maharashtra after activists protest the murder of Dalit family in Khairlanji.
The 12-hour curfew began at eight on Saturday morning.
The decision to impose curfew was taken late on Friday night, after the talks between Solapur Guardian Minister Vijaysinh Mohite-Patil and the organisers of 'All Party Morcha', who were to take out a march demanding stern action against Dalit activists for violence in the city, failed.
The members of the Morcha demanded action against those activists, who indulged in stone pelting and damaged public as well as private property during their protests, over Dalit killings at Khairlanji in Bhandara district of Vidarbha.
Mohite-Patil arrived in the city to hold talks with the agitating leaders and to defuse tension in the city, which witnessed violence for over two days.
