Yogi Adityanath Yogi Adityanath issues orders on religious processions after clashes in Delhi
Lucknow/IBNS: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has chaired a law-and-order review meeting, issuing a set of directions in the wake of the recent clashes in Delhi's Jahangirpuri area.
In a statement, the UP government said the directions were being issued as the festivals of Eid and Akshay Tritiya are likely to fall on the same date early next month.
The government said that no religious procession or marches will be allowed without proper permission.
All organisers will be required to submit an affidavit promising to maintain peace and harmony before permission is given, the statement added.
Only those religious traditional festivities will be allowed and new events will not be given permission, a tweet from his official account said.
Use of microphones at any new locations has been prohibited, allowing only those already using loudspeakers, the statement said.
Religious programmes can happen only at designated spots and road routes and traffic will not be blocked, it added.
