Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
Rising tensions over the Aurangzeb tomb issue in Khultabad have led the district administration to impose entry bans on four political and organizational leaders.
Additional district magistrate and resident deputy collector Vinod Khiroldkar based on the reports has issued district ban orders against the concerned individuals. The banned leaders include Nitin Shinde, a former MLA from Sangli and a leader of the Hindu Ekta Andolan, Nitin Pote of Sambhaji Maharaj Pratishthan, Milind Ekbote, and Balraje Aware Patil of Dharmaveer Sambhajiraje Shaurya Pratishthan. Nitin Shinde had already been banned from the district until March 12, while Pote is restricted until March 25, and Aware and Ekbote are banned until April 5.
The Aurangzeb tomb issue has recently sparked political unrest in the state, with some individuals even threatening to demolish the tomb. In response, the administration has taken precautionary measures and restricted those involved.
Ban on gatherings and drone usage
To maintain law and order, the district has already implemented prohibitory orders against public gatherings. Additionally, authorities plan to ban drone usage in rural areas, with official orders expected to be issued on Thursday, according to resident deputy collector Vinod Khiroldkar.
