And whereas, political campaigning beyond the permissible time is violation
of model code of conduct and may likely cause breach of peace and threat to public
tranquility that might affect the peaceful conduct of General Elections to Assembly
Constituencies of Karaikal District.
And whereas, it has come to my notice that certain criminal and anti-social
elements look for soft targets, particularly during odd hours which may endanger
human life/safety and endanger to their property and it is felt that immediate action
is necessary in this regard to prevent such danger to human life, safety and
disturbance to public tranquility.
And whereas, different complaints were received through control room
regarding distribution of cash, kind and liquor by unknown persons which may
cause violation model code of conduct;
And whereas, in my opinion, there is sufficient ground for proceeding
under section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, to prohibit the action
mentioned in pre-paras, which is detrimental to public peace and tranquility and
pose threat to peaceful conduct of free and fair elections;
And whereas, this ban shall not be applicable to purely religious functions
and marriages, for which, however, prior exemption order shall have to be obtained;
Now, therefore, I, Dr. Satyendra Singh Dursawat, I.A.S., District Magistrate,
Karaikal, after going through the material evidences laid before me and after
satisfying myself of the need for prohibition of certain activities, do hereby direct
that no person shall engage in any type of election campaign or canvassing of
votes after 10.00 p.m. and further prohibit the assemblage of five or more persons
in public streets, alleys or thoroughfares or in public places and also prohibit the
shouting of slogans and acting in any other manner detrimental to public peace
and tranquility in entire Karaikal District from 11.00 p.m. to 5.00 a.m. with effect
from the date of this Order which shall remain in force till the completion of General
Elections to the Puducherry Legislative Assembly, 2016.
This order shall be promulgated in the limits of Karaikal District through
local Cable Television channels, Frequent annoucement through FM (Prasar
