Any violation of this order will be penalised under section 188 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The order was issued due to the increasing trend of people entering the Kaziranga National Park for community fishing during Magh Bihu, leading to disturbance and potential law and order issues.
The order also provides a provision for those who feel aggrieved by it to approach the district magistrate with a valid reason in writing to seek an exemption from, or to change or modify the order.
