Agra/Meerut, Jul 1(UNI) After the authorities dealt strictly with the protesters of Meerut bringing out a march without permission on Sunday over the Tarvej Ansari lynching in Jharkhand, tension rose high in the Taj city of Agra on Monday when a similar protest was organised by a particular community.

Police had to resort to lathicharge and use force to control the mob which was trying to close a market in Mantola area. But when some shopkeepers opposed them, the violence broke out.
