Section 144 CrPC clamped in Cachar

March 5: In view of the forthcoming Assembly Elections, 2021 to all the 7 LA constituencies in Cachar District, viz., LA- 9 Silchar, LA-10 Sonai, LA-11 Dholai , LA-12 Udharbandh, LA-13 Lakhipur, LA-14 Borkhola and LA-15 Katigorah, scheduled to be held on 1 April, 2021, District Magistrate, Cachar, Keerthi Jalli IAS imposed Section 144 CrPC in Cachar District on Friday.

It’s worth mentioning here that miscreants might indulge in illegal activities like extortion of money, kidnapping of persons etc in the district for which such miscreants may use vehicles, the windows of which are covered by various means so as to enable them to escape detection or identification while in process of commission of such illegal activities. Unless the movements of such miscreants are curbed down there is likelihood of danger to human life and safety and breach of public tranquility.

Issuing an order to this effect on Friday, District Magistrate, Cachar, Keerthi Jalli stated that no owners, drivers of private vehicle shall use any means, whether by putting tinted glasses, tinted transparent sheets, painting, curtains etc on the rear or two sides of the windows of vehicles by which visibility inside the vehicles are blocked completely or partially from outside or by which the visibility of the inside of the vehicles is considerably reduced.

Any such means, if put already shall be removed from such vehicles forthwith. This order shall come into force immediately and shall apply to whole district of Cachar and shall remain in force until altered or decided. This order shall be, however, not applicable to the Government vehicles, displaying designation plates of senior Government officials.
