- What should I follow:
Prohibitory orders were imposed in Kokrajhar district on Sunday fearing a breach of law and order, making it the seventh district in Assam to have imposed such restrictions within a week. An order said the Additional District Magistrate imposed prohibitory orders in Kokrajhar district under section 144 of CrPC “in view of the urgency to maintain peace in the district”.
The order was issued ‘as it has been observed that law and order situation is likely to arise due to activities of anti-social elements and agitational programs of political parties, student unions and other organisations’. Gathering of five or more persons, processions, slogan-shouting, rallies, holding fairs without permission, back riding, carrying arms and branding are banned in any public place in the district.
It has been said that this order will be effective till further orders. Earlier, the districts of Charaideo, Sonitpur, Cachar, Karimganj, Hailakandi and Kamrup had imposed prohibitory orders under section 144 of CrPC to check any law and order situation.
Cachar and Karimganj had imposed the ban on June 12 following violent protests in different parts of the country over controversial remarks against Prophet Mohammad by two former BJP leaders. The other three districts were also brought under prohibitory orders during the last week.
