Hailakandi (Assam), Aug. 6 (PTI): The Hailakandi district administration has imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 CrPC in the entire district, Deputy Commissioner Keerthi Jalli said on Tuesday.
The decision was made following reports that some elements and groups are trying to disturb the peace in the district, Jalli said.
This move seems to be a preventive measure ahead of the Bakar Eid festival on August 12 and the Independence Day, as Hailakandi had been under curfew between May 10 and 25 following a communal clash which left 1 person dead and 14 others injured.
The deputy commissioner’s order banned assembly of five or more persons in public places, carrying of weapons or fire arms, holding public meetings or rally until the order is withdrawn.
