Kumar moved the Punjab and Haryana high court for permission to attend the procession. He urged an urgent hearing on his petition. Police were separately deployed at a Muslim shrine after it was damaged at Sainipura in Nuh's Tuaru town hours before the commencement of the yatra. Nuh deputy commissioner Vishram Kumar Meena said the situation was peaceful. 'Senior officials are camping in the area to ensure peace and tranquillity. All stakeholders have been taken into confidence after holding meetings with them following the incident, which was probably aimed at disrupting peace,' Meena said. He said the yatra was being held peacefully across the district. Meena said that drones are deployed around temples, and CCTV cameras have been installed at key locations to monitor movements. 'This time, police personnel are also patrolling the hills around the Nalhar Temple for surveillance.' In 2023, devotees en route to the Nalhar Temple were attacked from a hilltop.
