Shimla bans public gatherings at 10 sites over security concerns ahead of festivals.
The Shimla district administration has banned public gatherings, protests, and processions at 10 key locations, including Chhota Shimla, the Ridge, and government offices, citing public order concerns ahead of festivals.
The two-month ban, effective immediately under the Punjab State Security Act, 1953, restricts activities within 150 meters of certain roads and 50 meters around sensitive sites, prohibits carrying weapons, and requires prior approval for events.
Exemptions apply to security forces.
The move follows a meeting addressing challenges in implementing Supreme Court orders on forest land transfers, including staff shortages, prompting officials to create separate jurisdictions for faster compliance.
