(a) to so conduct themselves as shall seem necessary in order to prevent violence and alarm; or

(b) to disperse and to remove themselves beyond the limits of Delhi, or any part thereof, within such time as the Commissioner of Police shall specify and not to enter Delhi or the part thereof, as the case may be, from which they were directed to remove themselves.
