In response to significant demonstrations by the Yuva Rajput Sabha demanding the closure of the Sarore toll plaza in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district, the local administration has implemented restrictions under section 144 of the CrPc. These measures were enacted during the night by District Magistrate Abhishek Sharma around the toll plaza. Law enforcement conveyed the imposition of restrictions through a vehicle equipped with a speaker system, urging the protesting YRS members to leave the plaza, where they had been staging a sit-in since afternoon. Subsequently, the police detained multiple activists, as hundreds rallied against the removal of the Sarore toll plaza.
The District Magistrate’s decision to invoke section 144 aimed to curb the mounting protests near the Sarore toll plaza following the fervent demands of the Yuva Rajput Sabha. In response to the enforcement of restrictions, authorities utilized a vehicle with a speaker system to communicate with the protestors, urging them to vacate the plaza premises. This move led to the detention of numerous activists by the police. The demonstrators, who were contesting the removal of the toll plaza at Sarore, had been conducting a sit-in since earlier in the day.
