Shooting Reels, Photos at Public Places in Gwalior Now Requires Permission

Gwalior: Gwalior authorities have banned filming reels, taking photos, and shooting videos at public locations and historical sites. This comes after a viral social media video sparked outrage, showing a woman dancing to a Bollywood song at the collector's office.

The ban applies to historical buildings, train stations, bus stands, government offices, parks, and other public areas. Anyone caught violating the order faces legal action.

The order, issued by Collector Ruchika Chouhan, restricts photography and videography deemed inappropriate or disrespectful. It emphasizes that these activities don't contribute to preserving historical sites or promoting the city.
