At least five persons were injured and around 15 houses gutted after a clash erupted between two communities over construction of a religious structure in Atali village, following which the district administration has beefed up security.

At least five persons were injured and about 15 houses burnt last night when people from the two communities clashed over construction of the religious structure adjacent to the other community's religious site, SHO In-charge Inspector Preetpal said.

The trouble began yesterday when the roof of the religious structure was being laid, he said. A group of people from the other community started pelting stones and turned violent with equal retaliation from the other side, he said.

The group poured kerosene on the houses of those belonging to the community and set them on fire.
