Whereas, it is apprehended that assemblies,

during the 5th Session of Seventh Legislative

Assembly of the State of Goa convened at 11.30 a.m.

from 19-02-2018 to 21-03-2018 and such activities are

likely to create not only traffic congestion but also

disturbance to the smooth and peaceful functioning

of the Assembly;

And whereas, I am satisfied that adoption

of immediate preventive measures are necessary

for the maintenance of public peace, order and

tranquility;

And whereas, I am satisfied that there are

sufficient grounds for proceeding under Section

144(1) 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(1) of the Code of Criminal

Procedure, 1973, I, Nila Mohanan, IAS, District

Magistrate, North Goa, do hereby prohibit:-

a) assembly and gathering of five or more persons

and taking out or organising of processions.
