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."
