MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES AND PENSIONS (SHRI HARIN PATHAK)
(a) to (d): Yes, Sir. Delhi Police have, in exercise of powers conferred by section 144 of Cr.PC, prohibited marriage processions on some select road stretches for a period of 60 days effective from 21st November, 2003 unless withdrawn earlier. The said prohibitory orders have been issued to avoid any obstruction to traffic, danger to human lives and disturbances to public tranquility and do not, therefore, infringe on any legal right of an individual.
