Section 144 imposed in Maharashtra's Beed and Nanded due to quota agitations

Prohibitory orders under Section 144 have been imposed in Beed till September 27 and in Nanded till October 3 due to quota agitations by Maratha, OBC and other communities, officials told news agency PTI on Thursday.

Issuing the order, the Beed administration said the agitations of various



communities, like Marathas, OBCs and Dhangars, are underway.

"There is a chance that a problem of law and order may arise over any small reason. Hence, to maintain the law and order, prohibitory orders are imposed in Beed from September 14 to 27," it said, while exempting government employees from the order.
