wing organisations activists reached the spot and started abusing and misbehaving with the power company employees and stopped them from doing work, thus creating obstacles in Government work besides painting the board indicating that the property belongs to BMC and renaming it by writing that the property belongs to religious place to create communal tension. This could also disrupt the peace of the state capital, they alleged.
