Gurugram imposes prohibitory order ahead of examinations

The Gurugram administration has enforced a prohibitory order to ensure peace and security in the district during ongoing examinations. The measure, issued under relevant legal provisions, aims to prevent potential disruptions and maintain an orderly environment for students and educational institutions.

A key provision of the order establishes a 500-metre weapon-free zone around all examination centres. This restriction applies to firearms, sharp instruments, and other implements that could pose a security threat, thereby creating a safe space for test-takers and invigilators.

The prohibitory order represents a standard administrative action undertaken by district authorities to manage law and order during critical periods. Such measures have been implemented in various Indian cities during examination seasons to prevent incidents of violence and ensure minimal interference with academic activities.

The order remains in effect until authorities determine that the examination period has concluded and normalcy has been restored. District officials have appealed to residents to comply with the directive and cooperate with law enforcement personnel deployed for enforcement.
