Claim: UP Govt imposed section 144 on Valentine's Day.
Fact-check: Section 144 in UP not specifically meant for Valentine's Day, same restrictions extended since December 2022 - FACTLY
Verdict: the implementation of section 144 of crpc in lucknow and gautama buddha nagar is not solely for valentine's day. these restrictions have been in place since december 2022, extended till 10 march in lucknow and 28 february in gautama buddha nagar, for the purpose of maintaining order during various upcoming festivals such as mahashivaratri, holi, and shab e-barat. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
