MP's Dhar district enforces ASI guidelines for Basant Panchami, balancing Hindu worship and Muslim Friday prayers with heightened security.

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh urged Madhya Pradesh and Dhar authorities to follow ASI guidelines for Basant Panchami, which falls on a Friday, ensuring Hindu worship at the Bhojshala complex from sunrise to 1 pm and 3:30 pm to sunset, while reserving 1 pm to 3 pm for Muslim Friday prayers. He called for strict enforcement, action against incitement, and community harmony. In response, Dhar has increased security, deployed police, and held a flag march to maintain peace.
