Jalandhar Riots : The Horror of 25th May

A photostream of the 25-26th May 2009 riots in Jalandhar,Punjab.

The government won’t let the newspapers publish images of the dreaded activities that happened in Jalandhar. But in this democracy of sorts, information can seldom hide from the people. They DESERVE to know.

Cars burning outside Prithvi’s Planet,Jalandhar. (You’ll recognise them in the after-burn pictures that follow)

(Perhaps the only picture in the papers, authorized by the Indian Railways)

Setting a truck on fire in the Nakodar chownk area of Jalandhar.

A burnt-to-the-core Skoda Octavia. How was it involved with violence in Austria?

Terror outside “Prithvi’s Planet”, an entertainment centre and bowling alley in GTB Nagar, Jalandhar.

(Click to enlarge)

Petty acts of violence. All they needed was an EXCUSE.

Till when will we tolerate this inhuman communalism and upheaval ?
Is this the price to pay for every Indian?

My house is 50 metres from “Prithvi’s Planet”, and from my 9 years of living there, I know it has always been a very peaceful place. But if such acts of violence start happening in residential areas and “National” Highways, who knows where our country will get to.

these pics show only a part of story. all the showrooms on the jalandhar phagwara road were damaged. in the automobile showrooms, even the vehicles inside were set to fire. This is INDIA man where people need reason to damage public property. national property worth 7000 crore is damaged in the riots.
