India, March 22 -- A day after the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Loni MLA Nandkishor Gurjar and his supporters allegedly clashed with police during "Kalash Yatra" on Thursday afternoon in Loni, the Ghaziabad police is yet to register any first information report or initiate legal action, officers said on Friday.

A "kalash yatra" is a procession, usually by women, that takes place before the start of a Hindu festival. Devotees carry a vessel filled with water over their heads. The procession in Loni, on the 100 feet road on Thursday, was held as part of Ram Katha, a public recitation of the Ramcharitmanas, an epic poem in the Awadhi language, composed by the 16th-century Bhakti poet Tulsidas. The yatra was taken out on a 4km route.
