`Da Vinci Code' banned

Chandigarh: The Punjab Government on Thursday decided to ban the movie `Da Vinci Code' in the State in order to maintain communal harmony, peace and tranquility.

Disclosing this here, a spokesman of the Department of Home Affairs and Justice said the decision was taken after the Christian community expressed strong resentment against the alleged objectionable contents of this movie.

There was a possibility of violent confrontation at some places, particularly those having large Christian population, he added.

The movie was scheduled to be released in the State on Friday. UNI
