Order

No. 4/1/92-MAG(VOL-V)/917(A)

Under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal

Procedure, 1973

Whereas it has been brought to my notice that

various bodies are organizing rallies, processions

and hunger strikes etc., within the jurisdiction of

Panaji Police Station and Porvorim Police Station,

thereby paralyzing normal flow of traffic and causing

inconvenience to general public. Besides, such

activities also cause traffic congestions affecting

the motorists and pedestrians and pose a possible

risk of breach of peace and law and order problem.

And whereas, it has also been noticed that there

are unwarranted traffic jams in various points of

Panaji city and Porvorim during such morchas, rallies,

dharnas etc., resulting in obstructions of smooth flow

of traffic.

And whereas, in view of the above, I am of the

considered opinion that it is expedient to notify

designated places for Morchas, Rallies, Dharnas etc.,

in Panaji city and Porvorim so as to avoid

inconvenience to general public and any

disturbance to peace and law and order.

And whereas, I am satisfied that there are

sufficient grounds for proceeding under Section

144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and

that the circumstances do not allow the serving of

notice individually.

Now Therefore, in exercise of the powers vested

in me under section 144 of the Code of Criminal

Procedure, 1973 I, Nila Mohanan, IAS District

Magistrate, North Goa do hereby order that the

Campal Parade Ground and Azad Maidan, Panaji

shall be the two designated locations of organizing

protest rallies, morchas, processions, hunger

strikes, dharnas, agitations and other forms of

protest in Panaji city and Porvorim. Any such

activities taking place outside these specified

locations, shall be treated as illegal and any person

or persons violating this order shall be punishable

under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code.

The Organizers shall apply and get permission

for organizing any of the activities mentioned

hereinabove and shall also obtain permission for

using the two locations specified above from the

authorities controlling the same. No permissions

shall be granted to use the above specified

locations on days when State functions are

scheduled.

This order comes into force with immediate effect

and shall remain in force for a period of 60 days.

Given under my hand and seal of this office,
