Rujjum Rakshap, the District Magistrate of Lower Siang, has invoked Section 144 of the CrPC in the district. 

The order prohibits the assembly of more than four people in a group from 7 pm to 6 am. 

The restriction will be in effect from 17 April to 21 April.

Earlier after the tragic death of Tenzin Libasow, a young individual, fell victim to poll-related violence at the 14th Labour Camp in Khagok village, Jamiri, West Kameng, authorities imposed Section 144 of the CrPC in the tense atmosphere of Trizino-Buragoan constituency.

Late Tenzin Libasow, son of Nikam Libasow, tragically lost his life in the violence that erupted at 14th Labour Camp Khagok during a politically charged moment.

Expressing deep sorrow over the incident, Tenzin Nyima Glow stated, "Being an aspiring candidate for the upcoming Legislative Assembly Election 2024, I unequivocally denounce violence and coercive tactics. It is imperative that all members of society, regardless of political affiliations, strongly condemn and discourage any form of violence."
