Many Muslims from Dada Jalalpur in Uttarakhand are now living with relatives in neighbouring districts of UP.
Several Muslim residents have fled Dada Jalalpur village in the Bhagwanpur block of Uttarakhand's Haridwar district following recent incidents of communal violence.
Similar to the recent spate of communal violence in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone, Delhi's Jahangirpuri and several locations across India, the violence in Dada Jalalpur also took place around a religious procession, Hanuman Jayanti in this case.
However, what's different here is the manner in which several Muslim families have fled the area and sought refuge with their relatives in nearby districts of Saharanpur and Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh.
