Prohibitory Orders In Telangana After Groups Clash Over Cow Transportation

The scuffle broke out when the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) leaders stopped the transportation of the cows and staged a protest.

After a clash erupted between two communities over the alleged illegal transport of cows on Saturday, Section 144 has been imposed near Ramdas Chowrasta in the Medhak district of Telangana, police said.

Notably, Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), which prohibits gathering of four or more people in an area, is usually implemented to avoid any protests that could lead to violence and riots.

"The police imposed Section 144 in the area and the situation is under control now," Medak Superintendent of Police Office B Bala Swamy said.
