Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada district deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh has ordered the imposition of prohibitory orders within the city police commissionerate limits till December 21 midnight.
The prohibitory orders have been imposed in the backdrop of possible protests against the implementation of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Fearing that the law and order situation will be disrupted if protests, processions are organized in the district, the DC has enforced prohibitory orders.
Earlier on Wednesday, Mangaluru Police Commissioner P S Harsha warned against holding protests without permission over CAA and urged people and organisations to express their opinions on the issue within the boundaries of law and order.
Several messages were being circulated on the social media asking people to gather in large numbers for a protest here on December 20 and 23 but police have not received any application seeking permission to organise the protests, Harsha said without elaborating on who had given the call.
“We have approached the concerned persons such as the Khazi… He has clarified that no such programmes are planned as of now,” Harsha told reporters here.
The Commissioner said so far police have received six to seven applications for which law and order assessment was done and permission given to hold protest.
“Two days ago, we have detained 38 activists for protesting and violating Karnataka Police Act as no permission was sought for the protest,” he said.
Those who want to express their opinions in the form of protests or rallies, can apply for permission at the local police station, he added.
With regard to protests on December 20 and 23, he said if someone “spreads such rumours and provokes people to join the protest, stringent action will be taken against such individuals or groups.
