Rajouri: Authorities on Friday imposed strict restrictions in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri town under section 144 CrPC following a dispute between two communities over a piece of land.

According to reports, police were heard making announcements on public address systems fitted in their vehicles, asking people to stay indoors and shopkeepers not to open shops.

Official sources told GNS that restrictions under section 144 CrPC have been clamped amid apprehensions of a “law & order” situation over a piece of land claimed by two communities.

According to an order by Tehsildar, the land has been attached under section 145 CrPC and placed under SHO’s ‘spurdnama’ (custody/supervision) till the case is decided by the competent court of law.
