Okhla, Jamia Curfew: Curfew under Section 144 of the CrPC prohibits the assembly of four or more people in an area. Violation of the order is punishable under section 188 of the IPC.
Jamia Millia Islamia has asked its students and teachers not to assemble in and around the campus as police have imposed a curfew under section 144 of the CrPC in Delhi's Okhla area.
In a notice issued on Monday, the chief proctor of the university said the police officer of the Jamia Nagar police station has informed that the restrictions have been imposed since September 19 as information was received that some people or groups may indulge in activities prejudicial to the maintenance of peace.
The officer further said that the restrictions would be in place in the entire Okhla (Jamia Nagar) area till November 17, the notice added. Paramilitary personnel have also been called to maintain law and order.
The police have, however, denied that the order is related to the ongoing action against the Popular Front of India (PFI).
