Prohibitory orders back in city

Prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC, which were withdrawn on Sunday midnight, will be reimposed in the city on Tuesday, even as the Supreme Court is set to hear the Cauvery case.

The prohibitory orders will be in effect between 6 am and 12 midnight. The city intelligence wing has gathered information about those indulging in violence and attempting to disrupt law and order. In view of this, it has been decided to clamp prohibitory orders to ensure law and order in the city, City Police Commissioner N S Megharikh said.

The police tightened security all across the city. Additional forces have been deployed at railway stations, bus stands, the international airport and other public places. Police had imposed prohibitory orders on September 12.
