Monsoon Safety Measures Enforced in Palghar's Tourist Spots

The police have imposed prohibitory orders in several picnic spots in Vasai, Palghar district, Maharashtra, to ensure tourist safety during the monsoon season. The measures restrict assembly, venturing into water bodies, and various other activities to prevent accidents and financial losses.

Authorities in Maharashtra's Palghar district have instituted prohibitory orders across popular picnic areas to safeguard tourists during the monsoon, officials confirmed on Wednesday.

With the rainy season drawing large crowds to seashores, waterfalls, and lakes in Palghar and nearby regions including Thane, Raigad, and Mumbai, these measures are critical.

According to an order from Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone II, Vasai, Purnima Chowgule-Shringi, Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) will be effectual from June 25 to July 8 around various water bodies.

The order underscores the urgency to prevent financial setbacks and protect lives amid current monsoon conditions. It restricts gatherings, venturing into water bodies, and accessing risky spots, among other activities.

Additional prohibitions include noise pollution, harassment like eve-teasing, and parking at hazardous spots, enforced within a 1 km radius of designated areas.

Authorities urge public compliance with these restrictions, emphasizing the collective safety and welfare during the monsoon.
