The local administration in Shimla recently imposed restrictions on holding public meetings and protests at ten specific locations within the city. District Magistrate Anupam Kashyap issued these prohibitory orders, exercising powers granted under Section 6 of the Punjab State Security Act, 1953. The directive explicitly states that police, paramilitary, or military personnel are exempt from these restrictions while performing their official duties.
