COMMISSIONER OF POLICE LUDHIANA ISSUES DIFFERENT BAN ORDERS

Ludhiana, December 25, 2018: Commissioner of Police Ludhiana Dr Sukhchain Singh Gill, while exercising his powers under section 144 of CrPC 1973 (Act No 2 of 1974) has banned the sale of acid in all areas falling under the
jurisdiction of Police Commissionerate, Ludhiana, for a period of two months. He said that it has come to his notice that acid is being sold illegally in areas falling under the jurisdiction of Police Commissionerate, Ludhiana. He said that acid is a dangerous chemical which can harm human beings.

He has ordered that no person can sell acid without a proper license, which he would require to renew from time to time. He said that the person selling acid would make sure that he maintains complete record such as identity card, voter card and complete address of the person buying it. He said that acid cannot be sold to any person below 18
years of age. He also said that the seller would maintain proper record of stock in a register and in case of any sale, he would submit the details with area Police Station and SDM.

He has ordered that in case of sale of acid to any hospital, industry, government department or some other departments etc, then the shopkeeper selling the acid would be himself responsible for collecting complete details of the head of the organisation to which the acid is being sold. And the organisation buying acid would themselves ensure that acid is stored at a safe place under the supervision of a responsible person, besides all details of stock and use of acid should be maintained in a separate register without fail.

The Commissioner of Police Ludhiana has also banned manufacturing of those registration number plates of vehicles that are not as per the rules. He has ordered that if any shopkeeper/painter manufactures any illegal number plate (which is against the government rules), then strict action would be taken against them. He said that sometimes the
registration number written on these plates are not in proper and clear font, which sometimes becomes difficult for the police to read.

He has also banned carrying of arms and ammunition in all marriage palaces falling under the jurisdiction of Police Commissionerate Ludhiana for a period of next two months. He said that it has come to his notice that some people openly carry arms and ammunitions during weddings/functions in marriage palaces and sometimes in case of any
altercation or under the influence of drugs/liquor, these weapons are used. He said that such instances endanger the lives of common man.

He said that in case any person enters the marriage palace with arms and ammunition, then the marriage palace owner would be himself fully responsible for informing the concerned police station immediately. He said that in case any person used his arms and ammunition in the marriage palace, then legal proceedings would be initiated against the person using the weapon as well as the marriage palace owner.
