Mumbai's Jail Bharo protest organized by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) at Shivaji Park on October 2 lacked the necessary permission from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The party had announced the protest, but the authority to use the civic ground was not granted. If the CJP applies for permission within the next three days, the ward office will forward the application to the state urban development department, according to civic officials.
Civic body, Mumbai Police, and Shivaji Park's historical context
The BMC stated that they had not denied permission to the CJP and had not received any application for the protest at Shivaji Park on October 2. The police cited restrictions on gatherings, a 2013 Bombay High Court order, and a Maharashtra government resolution, as well as concerns over noise pollution and traffic congestion. Shivaji Park is a residential and silence-zone status, with hospitals nearby.
The park has been historically significant for political events, including rallies by the Shiv Sena, BJP, MNS, and other parties.
