Vadodara, Gujarat – In a startling turn of events, Vadodara’s Karelibaug area witnessed widespread protests on Tuesday after unidentified individuals plastered posters of the Pakistani national flag along prominent roads. The incident, discovered near Shri Wagheshwari Society and Chandravati Society, has sparked outrage among local residents and community leaders.

Local activist Atul Gamechi, who was among the first to notice the provocative posters, swiftly alerted authorities. “Vadodara is known for its peace and harmony. Seeing these posters of Pakistan’s flag was deeply unsettling,” Gamechi remarked. “I immediately called the police control room to report the incident.”

Responding promptly to the public outcry, officers from Karelibaug police station rushed to the scene to remove the posters and restore calm. “Our team acted swiftly upon receiving reports of the posters.
