SHILLONG: Concerned over the growing instances of devil worship the East Khasi Hills District Administration has imposed Section 144 CrPC in the entire district prohibiting devil worship or satan worship in any form, desecration of graves and vandalism of sacred symbols, movement of youth at cemeteries very late in the night without any justification, defacing the walls with graffiti and gang fights and unauthorized bike races at night.
East Khasi Hills Deputy Commissioner Sanjay Goyal said, “Such practices have hurt the sentiments of the Christians and other religions across the district while generating anxiety and worry amongst the public at large.”
“Such practices, if allowed to be continued, will create social unrest and inflame religious sentiments across the district resulting into danger to human life, health and safety and lead to disturbance of the public tranquility,” he added.
