Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday visited the violence-hit areas of Muzaffarnagar district.
Violence broke out after a youth from Kaval was killed by two men from Malikpura on August 27 for allegedly harassing a woman.
According to Television reports, Akhilesh visited Kawwal first, the worst-hit Muslim-dominated village during the riots.
Meanwhile, according to television reports, Muzaffarnagar Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Subhash Dubey has been suspended for failing to control the violence in the area.
The Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, is also expected to visit Muzaffarnagar on Monday.
Meanwhile, the state government has suspended the former Muzaffarnagar senior superintendent of police, Subhash Chandra Dubey, for failing to control the violence.
The home department spokesman said the government has suspended Dubey for his failure to take timely action to control the violence. The government, while transferring him last week, had attached him to the DGP headquarters. A departmental inquiry has also been ordered against Dubey.
Media reports quoted PMO sources as saying that Dr. Singh will make an on the spot assessment of the situation in the violence-hit district.
Dr. Singh, who is expected to visit the hospitals where the injured have been admitted, is expected to discuss the ground situation with Akhilesh Yadav.
Scores of senior officials, including Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Arun Kumar and others, are constantly camping in trouble-hit Muzaffarnagar.
The Uttar Pradesh Government has constituted a one-member judicial commission to probe Muzaffarnagar violence, which claimed at least 40 lives.
The commission, which would mainly look into administrative lapses, if any, in controlling the violence, would submit its report to the government within two months.
Violence broke out in the Kawal area of Muzaffarnagar on Saturday when members of a community returning from a panchayat meeting in Naglabadhod, three kilometres from Kawal, clashed with members of another community. (ANI)
