TNN / May 27, 2026, 01:14 (IST)
pune police commissioner Amitesh Kumar clarified that prohibitory orders restricting large gatherings until June 8 are routine measures for maintaining law and order, not specific to any festival. These fortnightly orders, similar to those issued before elections and other events, aim to ensure peace and prevent the carrying of weapons or burning of effigies, a practice in place for years.
