In view of the prevailing situation and as per inputs from various agencies suggesting potential threat to peace and tranquility, Additional District Magistrate (ADM) of Tizit Sub-Division, Mon district, has imposed a night curfew under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).
The order, issued by ADM Relise Sangtam, comes into immediate effect and restricts public movement from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. along the stretch from Tizit-Namtola bridge to Tekang Junction.
Further, the order prohibited– unauthorized or unlawful assembly and movement of five or more persons, whether on foot or in vehicles (including two/three-wheelers) and carrying of arms or objects that can be used as weapons, including sticks, rods, machetes (daos), and stones.
The ADM stated that the order has been enforced ex-parte due to the urgency of the situation, and will remain in force until further notice. Violators will face legal action under applicable laws, it added.
