Shri S.N.Srivastava,
Namaskar. This is to draw your attention to some disturbing incidents  
in Shiv Vihar which could have harmful consequences. Groups of young  
men have taken to roaming around in groups after dark shouting slogans  
like Jai Shri Ram, Har Har Mahadev and so on. This is not connected to  
any religous function. You are aware that this was the area where  
minority communities were attacked, homes burnt and families were  
forced to take shelter in relief camps. It is only now that they are  
returning to their homes, many of which are still not repaired. In  
such a situation for such processions to be  organksed without police  
permission are objectionable and need to be stopped forthwith.
I have also spoken to Addl CP Shri Alok Kumar about this and sent him  
the video images, which I also enclose here. You will appreciate that  
those who have informed me of this may not like to approach the police  
directly as they are afraid of repercussions.
Confidence building measures are an immediate requirement in the area,  
towards which a first step would be to ensure such processions are  
stopped.
I hope you will take appropriate action.
Your sincerely,
Brinda Karat
