The Commissioner of Police, Greater Chennai, S. George, issued a prohibitory order covering the Marina, Ice House, Foreshore Estate, Triplicane and Anna Square police station areas until 12 February. It prohibited assemblies, processions, fasts, demonstrations, human chains and meetings; family visits to the beach were exempt. The Commissioner said anti-social elements and anti-nationals had infiltrated the agitation and that some were using social media to gather people at Marina again. The order was rescinded on 4 February 2017, and a regulatory order under Section 41 of the Chennai City Police Act then barred assemblies and demonstrations on the Marina stretch from Napier Bridge to the Lighthouse.
