The SDMS has condemned the desecration of the Tarouba Ramleela Ground and called for an increase in police presence at such sites.

The organization said, over the weekend, there was the burning of an effigy of Ravan which is an integral part of the culmination of Ramleela celebrations.

The SDMS added that Ramleela is a sacred event in Hinduism, signifying the triumph of good over evil and should be respected as such.

It called for police to consider enhancing security measures and increasing police presence at places of worship and religious festivals, including Ramleela and upcoming Divali celebrations.

It noted that safety and security are paramount in ensuring that all individuals can practice their faith without fear or intimidation.
