The district administration of Odisha's Ganjam district has taken a measure to maintain peace and order by enforcing section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This order prohibits the assembly of four or more individuals in the Talapatna cremation ground. According to an official, this was done after a certain community opposed the entry of others into the ground.
The Bhanjanagar sub-collector, Anil Kunar Sethi, took this decision on Monday as a precautionary measure to prevent any potential conflict between two communities residing in the village. As per a police officer, the tension arose when one community expressed their disapproval towards the entry of others in the cremation ground.
Efforts were made to resolve the matter peacefully by holding a meeting between the two communities. However, no agreement could be reached. Therefore, the district administration had to resort to the only option left - imposing the prohibitory order to restrict entry into the area. This was confirmed by the sub-divisional police officer of Bhanjanagar, Sanjay Kumar Mohapatra.
It is crucial to maintain peace and harmony in the community, especially during sensitive times like these. The district administration is doing everything in its power to ensure that the situation remains under control and any potential conflicts are avoided. The imposition of section 144 CrPC is a preventive measure and should not be seen as a hindrance to the community's customs and rituals. The authorities are working towards finding a peaceful solution to this issue. Let us all cooperate and work towards maintaining a peaceful environment in our village.
