July 21,2010: The ulta rath yatra festival passing peacefully at Dalanghata in South 24 Parganas district. The situation was tense as the place witnessed a major communal attack by muslim miscreants a week ago in which two Hindu temples were ransacked, deities were broken, and huge public property was damaged. To restore confidence of the Hindus, Hindu Samhati volunteers spread out over the villages around, organized village meetings, mobilized people, and encouraged them to attend the festival without fear.
