The Kendrapara district administration Wednesday clamped prohibitory orders under Section 144 of CrPC in a part of this district headquarter town as a precautionary measure following a quarrel between two groups of youths.
Tension mounted up in the afternoon as the two groups were locked in a verbal duel over organisation of a function at the local government high school playground.
"Order has been restored. The tense situation has been diffused. As a precautionary measure, Section 144 CrPC prohibitory order was enforced at areas near the playground," said Ranjan Kumar Dey, Sub Divisional Police Officer.
