"Today on Bhai Dooj we took bath in the Yamuna river and prayed for the long life of our brother, " said Mamta, a local resident.
Following a meeting of the officials of Panipat ( Haryana) and Baghpat ( UP) on Friday people have been told by the officials that status quo would be maintained at the border of the two states that is separated here by river Yamuna.
Changing course of River Yamuna has often led to land dispute between the farmers at Panipat(Haryana) and Baghpat. One such dispute led to a clash between farmers of the two states at Tanda village of district Baghpat on Monday. Farmers of Khojkipur village of Panipat district allegedly with the help of police attacked village Tanda on Monday. This led to a clash in which least three farmers of village Tanda were injured while Haryana police arrested five farmers of this village into custody and sent them to jail.
