Interesting Morning....

Couldn't take the usual route to work this morning because police have shut down the part of the city I live in. You see, the city of Chandigarh is in 3 states: Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh. There are different sections of the city of Chandigarh: Mohali, in the Punjab, Chandigarh, in Chandigarh, and Panchkula (the section I live in), in Haryana.

Last night, there were crazy riots in a village in Haryana. Houses were burned and looted and it was utter pandemonium. You can read more about that event here. On my way to work, there was broken glass everywhere, policeman with guns, army figures, trucks, and even an armoured vehicle with a water cannon. From what I understand, Panchkula has been locked down and given a curfew. Can't find any solid information at this point, but it might just be an interesting night. I'll have a full explanation, or at least one according to the local papers, when I can get it.
