Koraput: The district administration has imposed Section 144 of CrPC at Deomali hill range in Odisha’s Koraput, prohibiting entry of all unauthorised tourists and outsiders into the area from 9 pm to 8 am unless specifically permitted.
According to the notice issued by District Magistrate Abdaal M Akhtar, the prohibitory orders will remain effective from 12 noon on Tuesday for a period of 60 days.
“Any person found violating the order shall be liable to be proceeded against as per section 15 of Environment Protection Act, 1986, besides legal action under Section 188 of Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860 and other provisions as applicable” stated the notice.
Notably, the decision was taken to protect the natural environment and ecology as the damage was being caused to the habitat as well as the government property at Deomali by campfires being lit at non-designated places.
