Section 144 Imposed in Hyderabad
Hyderabad City Police Commissioner C.V. Anand has announced that Section 144 will be in effect in Hyderabad and Secunderabad for one month, starting October 27. This rule prohibits gatherings of five or more people, as well as processions, rallies, and public meetings. It also bans any displays of symbols or messages that could disturb the peace.
The decision to impose these restrictions comes after reports of certain groups trying to disrupt public order through protests. However, the police have stated that peaceful protests are allowed only at Indira Park Dharna Chowk.
In an official letter, Commissioner Anand emphasized the importance of maintaining public peace and order. He stated that any gathering, speeches, or displays that might cause a disturbance will not be allowed in the city. Legal action will be taken against those who violate these rules.
What is Section 144 ?
Section144 refers to a legal provision in Indian law that allows authorities to prohibit the assembly of four or more individuals in an area. This is typically enforced to maintain public order and prevent disturbances or violence during sensitive situations, such as protests, communal tensions, or public unrest. When Section 144 is imposed, it restricts gatherings, rallies, and public meetings, and violators can face legal action. The provision is often used by police or government officials to ensure safety and prevent chaos in specific regions.
