Amid growing tensions and calls for the removal of Aurangzeb's tomb at Khultabad in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, the local administration has officially declared the site a 'no drone' zone, an official stated on Wednesday.
Demonstrations have been held across the state, with many politicians supporting the demand to remove the Mughal ruler’s tomb. The rising unrest has prompted the administration to strengthen security measures in the area. According to an official, a company of the State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) and an additional 50 personnel have been deployed in Khultabad, located about 25 km from the district headquarters, to maintain law and order.
