Bhor police book 500 revellers in a month for ban violations
Pune: Revellers continue to visit picnic spots in the monsoon despite the ban on entry by the district administration, forcing the police to take action.
Over the last month, the Bhor police have booked 500 people from Pune and Satara districts under section 188 (disobedience of order duly promulgated by public servant) of the Indian Penal Code.
“We will continue our action,” said senior inspector Raju More of the Bhor police station.
To prevent the spread of coronavirus in rural areas, the district collector has banned entry at popular tourist spots. The police too have placed boards to alert people. Regardless, people continue to visit these spots.
Recently, the police took action against 24 people at Raireshwar fort. “Most of them are from Wai in Satara district,” More said.
