Collector Avinash Champawat  clamped prohibitory order in the district of Korea as the model code of conduct came into force after the announcement of 2013 general election.

Section 144 has been clamped in the region to make the election impartial and trouble free. Under this act, no person would be allowed to carry deadly weapons such as gun, rifle, sticks, iron rods and other sharp weapons to any public places including markets and road and to any public gathering. Similarly no political party would be allowed to carry out processions, marches. Nobody will be allowed raise objectionable slogans or affix or distribute objectionable posters.

With the announcement of 2013 general election, the code of conduct has come into force in Korea area. The weapon related instruction however would not be applicable for officials and cops who need them while performing their duties. The political parties or persons who plan to hold rallies and procession need to take permissions from the administration before hand in writing, the collector said. Champawat has also issued instruction that no political parties would be allowed to use places of worship during the electioneering.
