Police in Ranchi have imposed prohibitory orders to curb a planned student march to the Jharkhand Assembly, aiming to maintain public order.
Police authorities in Ranchi announced prohibitory orders today to prevent a student march slated for the Jharkhand Assembly. The orders, issued under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, cover key areas around the assembly premises and are effective from midnight. The move follows reports that students from several colleges had planned a demonstration to voice their concerns.
The prohibitory orders prohibit the assembly of more than five people and the use of any loudspeakers or banners in the specified zones. Police have increased patrols and are monitoring the situation closely to ensure public safety. The authorities have urged students to seek alternative, peaceful means to express their grievances.
While the exact demands of the students remain unclear, the decision reflects the government's intent to preclude potential unrest during the upcoming legislative session.
