What is a 'Move On' direction under LEPRA Section 198 aimed at?

The 'Move On' direction under LEPRA Section 198 is primarily aimed at reducing intoxication-related disorderly conduct. This provision allows police officers to direct individuals to leave an area if they are behaving in a manner that is deemed disorderly, particularly when intoxication is a factor. The rationale for this law is to maintain public order and safety, ensuring that individuals who may be under the influence of alcohol or other substances do not engage in disruptive or harmful behavior in public spaces.

This legislative tool provides law enforcement with a mechanism to proactively address situations that could escalate into more severe disturbances or conflicts, thereby fostering a safer environment for everyone. In contrast, the other provided options focus on different aspects of public conduct, such as social gatherings, noise control, and park maintenance, which do not directly relate to the specific intent of a 'Move On' direction in terms of addressing intoxication-related issues.
