Since yesterday evening there is mounting communal tension in Trilok Puri area of east Delhi, near Mayur vihar. 2. I block 15-20- 27 junction a Mata ki chauki was set up and was supposed to be over by Diwali. On Diwali night some heated exchange between both communities; stoning. Two youth arrested, police acted a bit and situation got under control by night. 3. Yesterday on Friday night again former BJP MLA and others came and said to be threatened to build a temple there; Tension mounted, stoning, firing between, 2 people wounded. At 10 pm night some 3-4 thousand outsiders came shouting and continued abusing, stoning till 12 midnight; Heavy police and Rapid action force gathered. 4. Today morning was fine till at 10 am, people started stoning and random firing from majority community goons started, in response stones pelted. Police is there but nothing doing. 5. Now on the spot : Police and RAF there but random firing is on and in retaliation stone pelting is on. Just now around 3000 ppl started a meeting in Block no 18 to discuss further strategy. Police says they are talking peace. But only one major community ppl, mostly outsider. Local harmony not being seen. 6. I spoke to MLA who took a round with police for half an hour in the neighbouring area and now sitting at home. 7. Section 144 urgently needed, police is not responding on that. Today two festivals Bhai Dooj and One more. Chauki still there. 8. A new phenomenon in urban tension map - Dalits v/S Muslims.
