All liquor shops will also remain closed on Monday until the religious procession ends, officials said.

The annual religious procession includes three temples in Nuh – Nalhar, Ferozepur Jhirka and Singar. Last year, violence broke out during the yatra, leaving six people dead. Among the dead were members of the Bajrang Dal and a minister of a mosque in Gurgaon.

To give the population a sense of security, a flag march was held in the area on Sunday in the presence of Police Commissioner Nuh Vijay Pratap.

Gurgaon Police held meetings with Hindu groups after the procession. Deputy Commissioner of Police West Karan Goel and DCP Manesar Deepak Kumar gave necessary guidelines to maintain peace. Participants were asked not to raise any provocative slogans during the procession.
