Shyamal,
Is this rule an unwritten rule or is it a proper legal law of sorts?
If photography is legally banned,  then all these photographs would be technically in violation of the law right?


It was not a rule . It was an order issued almost an year ago . There was huge outcry against it and somebody need to check the status of it now . Anyway that does not affects these photos because Most of these are taken much before the issue date of the order.
