The Supreme Court has issued an interim order directing the political parties and their sister wings not to carry out political activities at Exhibition Road.

Responding to the complaints of educational institutions that the activities of student unions would push the students’ future towards darkness, a single bench of Justice Cholendra Shumsher JBR issued the interim order on Tuesday.

Saying that these kinds of activities would hamper teaching-learning activities in the educational institutions, the interim order would be effective until the final verdict on the case.

The SC urged the student unions to desist from conducting loud-miking and political activities that would hamper the teaching-learning activities at the place where there are around half-a-dozen educational institutions.
