Section 30 Enforced in Tirupati Ahead of Jagan’s Tirumala Visit
YS Jagan’s Tirumala Visit and Section 30 Enforcement
The YSR Congress Party (YCP) leader and former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, is all set for a visit to Tirumala tomorrow. As part of his pilgrimage, Jagan plans to take the Alipiri stairway to reach Tirumala, and he will be offering prayers at the temple on the 28th of September. However, ahead of this high-profile visit, the Tirupati police have taken strict measures to ensure law and order with section 30.
What is Section 30?
Just hours before Jagan’s arrival, the Tirupati Police Department has invoked Section 30 across the city. This particular section refers to the legal framework that regulates public gatherings, rallies, and roadshows. In simple terms, Section 30 mandates that any group planning to hold a gathering or event in public spaces must obtain prior permission from the local police. Any failure to comply with this order may result in legal action, including fines or other penalties. The ruling also means that the YCP and its leaders will need to secure official permission if they intend to hold any events or rallies during Jagan’s trip.
Restrictions on Political Activity in Tirumala
The Tirumala region, home to the famous Lord Venkateswara temple, is considered a sacred place for millions of devotees. This makes the police order enforcing Section 30 even more crucial in maintaining the sanctity of the temple town. It will be interesting to see how Jagan and his YCP colleagues manage their visit under these new restrictions. With the enforcement of Section 30, any political activities or demonstrations will be subject to the police’s approval, making it more difficult for the YCP to leverage the visit for political purposes.
Police Preparations for Jagan’s Visit
The Tirupati police have also ramped up security across the city, with the enforcement of Section 30 serving as a preventive measure to avoid any potential disruptions. Given the fact that Jagan’s visit is likely to attract a large number of followers and supporters, the police are taking no chances in maintaining law and order. Additionally, they will be monitoring any possible political events that could take place without permission.
The next few days will be crucial in observing how Jagan’s team handles these restrictions while still ensuring that his visit to Tirumala is peaceful and free from any controversy.
Conclusion: The Impact of Section 30 on Jagan’s Tirumala Visit
YS Jagan’s visit to Tirumala is a highly anticipated event, but the enforcement of Section 30 by the local police means that his team will need to tread carefully when it comes to political activities. By enforcing this legal measure, the Tirupati police aim to maintain peace and order in the temple town while ensuring that no political motives disrupt the sacred environment of Tirumala.
