Incidents of vandalism targeting statues of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar continue to disturb social harmony. On December 12, a slipper was thrown at an Ambedkar statue in Villaspur, triggering widespread outrage and protests by Dalit organizations across the district. In response to the incident, district authorities promptly visited the site to assess the situation and ensure public order. The police took swift action, arresting two individuals believed to be involved in the act.

This act of disrespect not only offended the sentiments of the Dalit community but also raised concerns about maintaining peace and communal harmony. Protests were organized by Dalit organizations to condemn the incident, demanding strict action against those responsible.

In a similar development, another incident has come to light, with reports of targeted vandalism involving an Ambedkar statue in the Janawada area. Police Sub-Inspector (PSI) from the Janawada Police Station has visited the site to investigate the matter further. While details of the current incident are still emerging, it underscores a worrying trend of recurring acts of disrespect against symbols of equality and justice represented by Dr. Ambedkar.

These incidents have put authorities under pressure to act decisively and ensure that such actions are not repeated. Community leaders have emphasized the need for unity and vigilance to prevent further attempts at disrupting social harmony.
