<p>During the rainy season, a large number of people throng the seashore, waterfalls, dams, rivers and lakes in Palghar and neighbouring districts of Thane, Raigad and Mumbai in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-crime-news/article/maharashtra-30-year-old-woman-found-dead-unidentified-person-booked-for-strangulating-her-in-thane-23356962" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Maharashtra</a>.</p>
<p>As per the order issued on Tuesday by Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone II, Vasai, Purnima Chowgule-Shringi, Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) will remain in force from June 25 to July 8 at various water bodies, reported PTI.</p>
<p>"The current monsoon conditions necessitated these measures to prevent financial losses and mitigate risks to the lives of tourists," the order stated, reported PTI.</p>
<p>It prohibits assembly of five or more persons, venturing in water bodies, accessing waterfalls or sitting in water flows, approaching dangerous spots, taking selfies or creating reels, and <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-crime-news/article/maharashtra-man-kills-paramour-held-in-palghar-23356926" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">parking vehicles</a> at hazardous locations, reported PTI.</p>

<p>"These measures will be enforced within approximately 1 km of the prohibited areas," as per the order, reported PTI.</p>
<p>Authorities have appealed to the people to adhere to these restrictions for their own safety and the well-being of others during the current <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-rains-fireman-injured-2-vehicles-damaged-after-tree-falls-in-thane-23355026" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Maharashtra monsoon</a> period.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the police on Tuesday said that a nearly 100-foot-long dead whale has been washed ashore in Maharashtra's Palghar district, reported PTI.</p>
<p>Some fishermen spotted the dead mammal at the Arnala beach on Monday afternoon and alerted local police. Authorities of the fisheries and revenue departments were also informed.</p>
<p>Police inspected the carcass and it was suspected the whale might have been struck by a ship or a large boat, leading to its death and drifting to the shore, an official from Arnala Sagri police station told PTI.</p>
<p>After the news spread in the area, a huge crowd gathered at the beach to catch a glimpse of the giant marine creature.</p>
<p>The carcass will be disposed of as per the protocol, the police said.</p>
