Haryana's Nuh district is on high alert after some Hindu groups said that they would take out a 'shobha yatra' on August 28 despite the denial of permission.
A month after violent clashes in the area led to 6 deaths, the government has deployed 1,900 police personnel and 24 companies of paramilitary personnel.
Educational institutes and banks have been shut. Mobile internet and bulk SMS services have also been suspended in the area.
A ban has been imposed on four or more people gathering in public. Outsiders are also being barred from entering the district.
