Work on the controversial Indian film, Water, has been resumed following a government order for a temporary halt to shooting.

Reports say there was a heightened police presence as Hindus demonstrated against the filming, in the holy city of Varanisi in Uttar Pradesh.

Earlier in the week, the government said filming could be re-started after the director, Deepa Mehta, amended certain scenes.

The film concerns a relationship between a widow and a man from a lower caste.
