The district authorities have invoked Section 163 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) to ensure law and order during the upcoming Surajkund International Craft Fair, which would is set to begin on from February 7 at Surajkund.

A spokesperson for the district administration said the District Magistrate has issued orders for the implementation of Section 163, which would cover the area surrounding the fairgrounds. Under this order, carrying weapons or arms is prohibited, except for security personnel. The section also bans activities that could obstruct, disturb or interfere with the smooth functioning of the fair.

Additionally, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including drones, would be prohibited in the area and parts of the city for the duration of the fair, which runs until February 23. The restriction includes all drones except those used by the Armed Forces or the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for the protection of VVIPs and VIPs.

Violators of the order would face strict legal action under Section 223 of the Indian Penal Code 2023, as well as other relevant laws and regulations.
