JAIPUR: Amid rising tensions over a 'chhatri' (cenotaph) dispute in Basanpir village of Jaisalmer, the administration on Wednesday imposed Section 163 of Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) to maintain public order.
The prohibitory orders were issued by Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Saksham Goyal, who cited concerns about the potential breakdown of law and order in the area.
The dispute arose over the reconstruction of ancient Chhatris on the banks of a pond in Basanpir. These historical structures had been demolished earlier for unspecified reasons, and one group in the village had long been demanding their restoration.
