Karbi Anglong District Admin Bans Public Gatherings, Rallies Amidst Protests in Diphu
First Published: 7th August, 2024 14:55 IST
Kabi Anglong District Administration have urged citizens to cooperate and maintain peace in the region.
After the situation turned extremely volatile in Diphu in Assam’s hill district Karbi Anglong during a protest demanding immediate eviction of illegal settlers from the Professional Grazing Reserved (PGR) and Village Grazing Reserved (VGR) land in Karbi Anglong, the District Administration has issued a Prohibitory Order under section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) Act to maintain peace and tranquillity in the region.
Rallies, processions, gatherings of 5 or more people, meetings in front of offices and other public places, and other activities are prohibited under the order, which came into effect yesterday.
The prohibitory order will be in effect until further notice, and authorities have urged citizens to cooperate and maintain peace in the region.
Yesterday, hundreds of protesters under the banner of the Karbi Students Association and various other organizations marched towards the KAAC headquarters to press for their demands.
When the protestors attempted to storm the headquarters of the KAAC, police resorted to blank firing and lathi charges to stop them.
It may be mentioned here that the KAAC had previously served eviction notices to approximately 10,000 people accused of illegally settling on the reserved grazing lands in the Sixth Scheduled districts of Karbi Anglong and West Karbi Anglong. However, the eviction process has been delayed as the matter is sub judice.
