Puri: The district government would issue a Section 144 prohibitory order in Puri town starting Monday, a day before the Bahuda Yatra (return journey of Lord Jagannath and his brothers) on Tuesday.

Puri Collector Samarth Verma told the media about it on Saturday.

The limits implemented during the Rath Yatra, according to the collector, will be enforced throughout the Bahuda Yatra as well.

“As Bahuda Yatra is scheduled on July 20, prohibitory order under Section 144 of the CrPC will be invoked in the entire town from 8 pm of July 19 to restrict the movement of people. This time, we will be imposing more restrictions in Balagandi area along Bada Danda (Grand Road),” he informed. 

“No person will be allowed to witness the yatra from the rooftops and the balconies of the houses along Bada Danda. We will issue an order for the closure of all hotels and lodging houses along Bada Danda from on Saturday evening,” he added.
