No. 16
Whereas I have reason to believe that certain students of the Dyal Singh College in Lahore are engaged in spreading seditious propaganda directed against his Majesty’s Government and whereas I deem it expedient in the interest of the preservation of law and order to restrict the activities of such students, I make the following order:—
All students of the said college now in this command area will report themselves to the officer commanding troops at the telegraph office daily at the hours specified below and remain there until the roll of such students has been called by the principal or some other officer approved by me acting on his behalf, and until they have been dismissed by the Officer Commanding Troops at the telegraph office:—
|
07·00 hours. (7 A.M.) 11·00 hours. (11 A.M.) 15·00 hours. (3 P.M.) 19·00 hours. (7 P.M.) |
First parade at 11·00 hours (11 A.M.) on the (?) April, 1919.
“The latest order under martial law passed today makes it unlawful for more than two persons to walk abreast on any constructed or clearly defined pavement or side-walk in such area. Disobedience to this order will be punished by special powers under martial law. It shall also be illegal for any male person to carry or be found in possession of an instrument known as a lathi. All persons disobeying this order will be arrested and tried by summary proceedings under martial law.”
