I remember when there was riots in Muzaffarnagar, I was giving the online exam of TCS in my BCA second yr. The cyber cafe owner who was Hindu told me that peoples are running towards their home and you also need to go. If there will be any wrong intentions in his mind then why he will tell me this thing. And i remember people was running and it was very complicated situation. I was riding my bicycle like a motorbike.

Actually the reason on riots was from a village named Kawwaal and there was just some incidents happened in main city of Muzaffarnagar but curfew was there,some peoples also injured and i remember my mom’s health was not good and i was going on the road alone in curfew, it was very scary for me because there was order to kill anyone during curfew. It was difficult to manage the food and other things during curfew.

Now when i told to anyone that i am from Muzaffarnagar they says “Accha wo dango wala”.

So today i am writing a blog to change the image of my hometown. I hope it will change the view about my city.
