Gatherings Curbed In Noida Ahead Of Eid, Janmashtami, NEET PG Exam

Authorities in Noida have imposed restrictions on public gatherings until September 4, citing a combination of religious festivals and the upcoming NEET PG examination. Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) has been enforced throughout the Gautam Buddh Nagar Commissionerate, a measure designed to prevent potential disturbances and ensure public safety.

The decision to curb gatherings comes in anticipation of Eid and Janmashtami celebrations, alongside the crucial NEET PG exam. Officials aim to maintain law and order and prevent any untoward incidents that could arise from large congregations during this period.

The imposition of Section 144 means that assembly of four or more people is prohibited in the specified areas. This restriction is a standard procedure in many Indian districts during sensitive times, balancing the need for public order with the rights of citizens to assemble.
