The Uttarakhand High Court asked the BJP-led state government to maintain law and order in the state and to ensure that there is no damage to the property of people. This order came amid talks of a mahapanchayat in the state's Purola district, reported ANI.

A notice was issued to the government by the court which ordered it to file its reply within three weeks. It also added in its order that organisations need to seek permission from the state government to hold dharnas, demonstrations, rallies, and meetings, reported ANI.
