The Hyderabad City Police have banned public gatherings, protests, and rallies across Hyderabad for a month, starting October 27. This action is taken to maintain public order as the police have concerns that various groups may try to disrupt the city's peace. The police commissioner issued this directive under a specific law, citing credible information that several organizations and parties are attempting to create disturbances that could affect public peace and order in Hyderabad through protests and demonstrations. The order prohibits gatherings of five or more people, processions, public meetings, and displays of symbols or messages that could incite unrest across Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The regulation also bans any gestures, flags, placards, or electronic messages that could threaten peace and security in public spaces.

The police have imposed restrictions on public gatherings and protests in Hyderabad, except for a specific location. The Commissioner of Police, CV Anand, has used his powers under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023 to prohibit any gathering of five or more people, processions, sit-ins, rallies, or public meetings that are likely to disturb public peace and order in Hyderabad and Secunderabad. Violations of this directive, particularly around sensitive areas like the Secretariat, will result in legal action. The new law, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, has replaced Section 144 and has given the authorities more power to regulate public gatherings to prevent unrest.
