CHURACHANDPUR, Oct 23: The District Magistrate of Churachandpur, Shri Dharun Kumar S, IAS, on Wednesday enacted a prohibitory order under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, due to increasing concerns about law and order in the Tuibong Sub-Division. A report from the Superintendent of Police indicated a serious threat of unrest that could compromise public peace and safety, necessitating immediate preventive measures.
The order, effective from 6:00 AM on October 23, prohibits unauthorized gatherings and unlawful assemblies of five or more people, as well as the possession of arms or any objects that could be weaponized, such as sticks, rods, and stones. This directive is in addition to a curfew that was previously established on September 29, 2024, under the same legal provisions.
The prohibitory order covers the entire revenue jurisdiction of the Tuibong Sub-Division and was implemented without advance notice to the public due to the urgent nature of the situation. However, it does not impact government agencies responsible for law enforcement and essential services.
