Pune Police Enforce 14-Day Restrictions Amid Political and Festival Concerns
Pune police have imposed a 14-day prohibitory order restricting public gatherings and effigy burning until August 31, citing security concerns ahead of festivals and political events. The order bans assemblies of five or more people without police permission and prohibits carrying weapons or loud sloganeering. Congress leader Pawan Khera alleges the restrictions aim to disrupt Rahul Gandhi's scheduled 'Chhatron Ki Gunj' event on August 22. Police emphasize law and order ahead of Eid-e-Milad, Narali Purnima, and Rakshabandhan.
