Guwahati Police Ban Rallies to Ease Traffic Congestion
Imagine Guwahati's streets are like busy hallways.
To help traffic move smoothly, the police have decided to stop big groups of people from gathering in the streets.
This means no more rallies or marches for now.
The goal is to stop traffic jams and make it easier for everyone, including emergency services, to get around.
Some people think this is a good idea because traffic is a problem.
However, others believe it's unfair to stop people from gathering and that there might be other ways to fix the traffic problems.
Guwahati police have banned rallies and gatherings to ease traffic.
The ban is implemented under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
The order aims to improve traffic flow and address difficulties faced by commuters.
Breaching the ban will result in penalties under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
Residents have expressed concerns, viewing the ban as potentially extreme and restrictive.
