In anticipation of the Madhya Pradesh High Court's verdict on the Bhojshala Temple-Kamal Maula Mosque dispute, security measures have been significantly increased in Dhar district. The legal proceedings have been ongoing since April 6, 2023, with the court hearing arguments from all parties involved, including the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The dispute centers on the religious identity of the site, with Hindus asserting it is a temple dedicated to Goddess Vagdevi, while Muslims claim it is the Kamal Maula mosque.

Dhar District Collector Rajiv Ranjan Meena has urged residents to maintain peace and avoid spreading misleading information. He stated that additional police forces have been deployed to ensure order, and any misinformation will be met with strict action. The ASI's extensive report, which details the survey conducted at the site, has been a focal point of the hearings. The verdict is expected to be announced after the court vacation, following the conclusion of final arguments from all parties involved. An existing arrangement permits Hindus to conduct rituals on Tuesdays and Muslims to pray on Fridays at the complex, reflecting the site's contested nature.
