After pubs and PUBG, parties, specifically public birthday parties, are now banned in Gujarat.
The common things that happen during a birthday celebration — rubbing cake on your friends faces, adhesive tapes, and the spraying of foam — can all now get you arrested if you're doing in in a public place in Gujarat.
Surat police on Monday has issued prohibitory orders against smearing cake, adhesive tapes, throwing foam or chemicals at a public place, reported the Indian Express.
'Public places' in Gujarat could be defined as places such as parks and BRTS corridors (Ahmedabad Bus Rapid Transit System).
This new order came into light after a lawyer, Apar Gupta, shared it on Twitter.
This is what the order reads in English.
According to the order, the police has emphasised that they can arrest any person found violating this order in a public area under Section 144 of the CrPC.
The reason for the ban? The order says that the move as been initiated to stop people from damaging public property or harming an individual during birthday celebrations.
