*On April 11, 2022, An incident involving an Akhada procession, organized by Hindu devotees in observance of Ram Navami, faced aggression from local Muslims in Joda town, located within the Keonjhar district of Odisha. The episode unfolded as devotees adorned with religious flags reached the temple of Lord Shiva in ward number 4. At this juncture, members from the Muslim community obstructed the procession's path and engaged in verbal disputes with the devotees. Their actions prevented the devotees from accessing the temple premises, and the situation escalated as the aggressors resorted to pelting stones and glass bottles at the devotees. This provocation led to a series of violent clashes, resulting in several individuals sustaining injuries.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Staff |first1=OpIndia |title=Odisha: Ram Navami Akhada procession attacked in Joda, stones, bottles pelted at devotees |url=https://www.opindia.com/2022/04/odisha-islamists-pelt-stones-glass-bottles-at-ram-navmi-akhada-procession-in-joda-bikes-torched-section-144-imposed/ |website=OpIndia |date=12 April 2022}}</ref> | |||
