And whereas, political parties, various organisations, agriculturists,

labourers, students and Government servants very often resort to

demonstrations, etc., and at time, reach up to the building/offices, thereby

threatening the security of the said buildings and officers in the buildings and

such scenario encourages the agitators to conduct snap demonstrations with

their available strength before the abovesaid offices suddenly, which creates

disorder and chaos;

And whereas, several incidents brought to my knowledge that the

unruly agitators do not care about the normal functioning of the Government

offices, by gathering unlawfully inside the offices and resort to conducting

dharna, agitation before the chambers of the higher officials and causing

inconvenience to public and hence for the maintenance of public order and

smooth functioning of Government offices;

And whereas, it appears to me that the conduct of demonstration,

dharna, picketing, hunger strike etc., by raising violent slogans against

Government within the periphery of 200 mts. surroundings of the Collectorate

may likely to cause obstruction and hindrance to the Government officials as

well as the public;

And whereas, I am of the opinion that there is sufficient grounds for

proceeding under section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973,

to prohibit the action by any means of unlawful assembly for the purpose of

conducting demonstration, dharna, hunger strike, picketing, etc. by political

parties, organisations, associations of Government employees, labour unions,

agriculturists, fishermen, students or unorganised gathering, etc., and also to

carry any type of placards, banners, flags, sticks etc. within the periphery of

200 mts. surroundings of the Revenue Complex, Puducherry;

Now, therefore, I, Dr. S.B. Deepak Kumar, I.A.S., District Magistrate,

Puducherry, do hereby prohibit the conduct of demonstration, dharna, hunger

strike, picketing, etc., by various political parties, organisations, associations of

Government employees, labour unions, agriculturists, fishermen, students or

unorganised gathering, etc., and also to carry any type of placards, banners,

flags, sticks, etc., within the periphery of 200 mts. surroundings of the Revenue

Complex, Puducherry with immediate effect.

This ban shall not be applicable to Government function, funeral

processions and any other activities proposed by the Government Departments;

This order shall be valid for 2 months from the date of publication in

the official gazette.

Dated 20th day of February 2013.

Dr. S.B. DEEPAK KUMAR, I.A.S.,

District Magistrate.
