AAP U’khand chief, other party workers booked for violating distancing norms during protest march
Description
Dehradun: A day after the Uttarakhand unit of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers held a protest in support of farmers, Dehradun police on Tuesday booked the party’s state chief SS Kaler and other party workers for violating social distancing norms and taking out the protest march without taking permission from the local administration. SS Kaler, who led the protest march from Kalidas Road tri-junction, and other party workers have been booked under sections 188, 269, and 270 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), section 3 of the Epidemic Act, and section 51 of the Disaster Management Act. According to police officials, the AAP party leaders failed to show the required permission to take out the protest rally. Notably, the AAP protest march was stopped by the police near Hathibarkala. It is worth mentioning that the AAP party has extended support to the ongoing farmers’ protest against the three farm bills introduced by the Centre.
