The Gov­ern­ment is mak­ing good on its pledge to make amend­ments to reg­u­la­tions for the on­go­ing State of Emer­gency (SoE) re­lat­ed to pub­lic or­der.

Short­ly af­ter the SoE was pro­claimed and the as­so­ci­at­ed reg­u­la­tions pub­lished late last year, lawyers rep­re­sent­ing Vishal Per­sad, who is the ad­min­is­tra­tor of the blog “Mil­len­ni­als for Change”, filed a law­suit al­leg­ing that as­pects of the reg­u­la­tions deal­ing with pub­lic or­der were un­con­sti­tu­tion­al.
