thehindu.com [$]

Udupi district authorities have banned Hindu Jagarana Vedike (HJV) leader Satish Poojary from entering the district for two months, starting July 7. This action aims to prevent potential provocative speeches and maintain public order. The ban follows a police report citing concerns that Poojary's speeches at planned HJV protests against the government could incite unrest. The police cited his history as a rowdy sheeter and the potential for provocative statements during upcoming religious events. The Deputy Commissioner invoked legal authority to impose the ban, citing 19 criminal cases against Poojary. The ban prevents him from participating in protests and public events within Udupi district.
