City police commissioner M Chandra Sekhar, who is also the additional district magistrate, has promulgated prohibitory orders under Section 144 or CrPC from 6 p.m. on February 24 to 6 a.m. on February 26 under the limits of Commissionerate.

The BJP and other saffron outfits, which staged a protest rally today in the city, had planned for a hartal across Dakshina Kannada district tomorrow to oppose Vijayan’s Mangaluru visit.

However, the police have denied permission for hartal. “No one is allowed hold hartal or stage protest in the city until the end of prohibitory orders,” the top cop said.

The police, however, clarified that the prohibitory orders will not apply to the Karavali Souharda Rally (Coastal Karnataka Harmony Rally) being organized in the city by the Left parties on Saturday.

District goes dry

Meanwhile, Dakshina Kannada district administration has banned the sale of liquor in the district on Friday and Saturday in view of controversies over the harmony rally.

Invoking Karnataka Excise Act, 1965, K G Jagadeesha, deputy commissioner of DK has declared two days as 'Dry Days'. It will be effective from Friday, 6am till Saturday midnight.

He said that the decision to bar sale of liquor was taken in view of the reports from police commissioner M Chandra Sekhar and superintendent of police Bhushan Gulabrao Borase. The two officers have asked for bar on sale of liquor in order to maintain law and order on these two days in the district.

Varanasi, Jan 20: An FIR has been lodged against unidentified persons for a controversial hoarding near the Varanasi railway station. It is worth mentioning here that Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself is the MP of Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency.

The hoarding near the Englishiya Line crossing read, "Hindu dharma mein ghar vapasi karo... CAA, NRC se chhutkara pao (Get rid of CAA, NRC by converting to Hinduism)".

Inspector Ashutosh Ojha said that the FIR under section 295 A and 505 of IPC has been lodged.

"Investigation has been launched in the case and those involved in putting up the hoarding would be identified soon," he added.

According to sources, a lesser known outfit, Hindu Samaj Party, had placed the hoarding on the busy road.

The outfit's state Vice President Roshan Pandey had made a video viral on social media with his message in which he claimed to have put up the hoarding in response to the protest being staged at Shaheen Bagh, New Delhi.

The hoarding, which also has photographs of some Muslim women wearing saffron pagdi, was removed by the police late Saturday evening.

It came up at a time when Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Union Minister Smriti Irani and other leaders were in Varanasi to address a rally in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act at the Sampurnanand Sanskrit University.

Pandey, along with his supporters, had also tried to stage a sit-in at Lanka to give a call for marching to Shaheen Bagh in Delhi but was prevented by the police.

They were taken in custody and were later released following initial interrogation, said inspector Lanka, Bharat Bhushan.
