Nagpur Mar 18 (UNI) The situation is under control, and a curfew is imposed in several parts of Nagpur, while no fresh incident of violence was reported after it broke out in the city on Monday following rumours that a holy book had been desecrated during a demonstration seeking the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb in Khuldabad, sources said here on Tuesday.
