As the Supreme Court of India has given a unanimous decision on the Ayodhya Land title dispute case, the Divisional Commissioner of Bharatpur has ordered a temporary suspension of internet till Sunday. Prior to this the District Collector also announced that the schools and college in the district will also remain closed. As per the letter issued by the authorities, these measures are being taken to stop the spread of provocative and false news regarding the verdict.
Internet Suspension
The Divisional Commissioner has ordered a 24-hour suspension of internet services from 6 am on November 9. This includes the 2G, 3G, 4G data internet services and a suspension of Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter and all other social media by internet service providers except voice call of landlines and mobile phone services. The administration has also urged people to maintain harmony and respect the apex court's verdict. In Jaisalmer also, the district magistrate has imposed prohibitory order under CrPC section 144 to maintain law and order in the district.
Ayodhya verdict
Pronouncing the landmark judgment in the Ayodhya dispute case, the Supreme Court on Saturday, delivered a unanimous judgment in the title suit of the disputed area awarding it to the Hindu parties for the construction of a temple. It also directed the Centre to come up with a scheme within three months to set up a trust which will hand over the outer courtyard and inner courtyard of the site for construction of a temple. Apart from this, the SC stated that an alternate land of 5 acres is to be allotted to Muslims for the liberty of constructing a mosque, either by the central govt or the State govt, in a suitable and prominent place in Ayodhya. CJI Ranjan Gogoi, while delivering the unanimous judgment, dismissed the claims of the Sunni Central Waqf Board and the Nirmohi Akhara. He also termed that the three-way division of the disputed land by the Allahabad HC in its 2010 verdict is wrong.
Restrictions in other places
Security has been tightened across the country as the Supreme Court delivered its historic judgement in the politically sensitive Ayodhya land dispute case. The prohibitory orders will be in effect in Madhya Pradesh’s capital Bhopal and Bengaluru. "Section 144 CrPC has been imposed in Bengaluru from 7 am-12 midnight," Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao said. Section 144 of CrPC, which prohibits the gathering of more than four people, has been clamped in entire Goa, Uttar Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir.
