Prohibitory Orders Before India-Bangladesh Match in Gwalior

Ahead of the T20I match between India and Bangladesh in Gwalior, prohibitory orders have been imposed to prevent unrest, following protests by right-wing groups like the Hindu Mahasabha citing alleged 'atrocities' against Hindus in Bangladesh. District Magistrate Ruchika Chauhan issued the orders under the new Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, banning protests and inflammatory materials, especially on social media, until October 7. Around 1,600 policemen are deployed to ensure security at this first international match at the Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in 14 years. In Indore, a Navratri garba event was canceled after allegations by Bajrang Dal of promoting interfaith relationships, which the organizers deny. Meanwhile, in Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, Hindu activists protested against non-veg hotels near temples, with district authorities promising action within a week. These events highlight ongoing tensions surrounding religious and cultural issues in India.
