Digital Desk: The district administration in Assam's Nalbari has immediately implemented Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) for a term of 60 days in the whole district.
The order was issued after peace and tranquillity were entirely violated in multiple locations following enormous protests organised by various organisations throughout the district over the relocation of the Nalbari Civil Hospital.
The District Magistrate of Nalbari, Gitimoni Phukan, stated in a notification issued on Monday that "there is the likelihood of a breach of peace and tranquillity in the district, and in order to prevent such breach of peace and tranquillity, there are sufficient grounds for proceeding 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973."
