Correct answer: D

Villagers had come into Amritsar for Baisakhi, which falls in mid-April.
They had also gathered to protest peacefully at the arrest of Satyapal and Saifuddin Kitchlew.
The ban on meetings had been issued that morning and had not reached most of the crowd.

Worth noting

Lohri is the tempting wrong answer because it is also a Punjabi festival — but it falls in January, not April.
