As messages started spreading on social media that youth and students were planning to congregate at Marina Beach, which witnessed massive pro-Jallikattu protests, the Tamil Nadu Police has imposed Section 144 CrPC in and around the beach area from Sunday.

Despite repeated warnings, messages continue to circulate on social media, asking people to gather at Marina Beach for various purposes.  “In the interest of the preservation of peace and tranquility in Chennai and to curtail the nefarious design of anti-socials and anti-nationals... a prohibitory order under Section 144 of the CrPC has been promulgated in Marina and the foreshore areas,” a police statement read.
