Heavy police deployment, low-key celebrations mark Hul Diwas in Bhognadih

Newspoint
Dumka: The 171st Santhal Hul Day celebrations at Bhognadih village in Sahibganj district was a low-key affair on Tuesday after the district administration denied permission for large gatherings citing security concerns after last year’s violence.

Politicians cutting across party lines, govt officials and locals paid tributes to Sidho, Kanhu, Chand, Bhairav, Fulo and Jhano, the siblings who led the 1855 rebellion against the British colonial rule and the exploitative zamindari and moneylending system amid heavy police deployment.
