Security up in Manipur ahead of Rahul visit

Imphal: Security has been tightened in Manipur’s Jiribam district ahead of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s scheduled visit on Monday, with authorities imposing a ban on aerial photography using drones, officials said.
A notification by the Jiribam district magistrate on Sunday said as part of enhanced security measures, aerial photography or videography through drones, balloons, or any other means is strictly prohibited.
The notification emphasised that violations of this order would result in legal action under Section 223 of Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and other relevant provisions of the law.
In preparation for Gandhi’s day-long visit, a team of state Congress leaders inspected relief camps where Rahul is likely to visit. PTI
