The Delhi Traffic Police have issued an advisory warning that traffic movement could be affected during the day due to the current law-and-order situation. Live Mint reports that motorists should avoid non-essential travel through affected areas due to expected dynamic diversions at major roads and junctions. However, air and rail services are not expected to face significant disruption.
According to the Hindustan Times, police commissioner Anurag Kumar signed an order on October 11 denotifying Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site. This follows the recent NEET agitation and ongoing protests against chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The order, titled “Guidelines for Holding Protests or Demonstrations in Delhi,” designates three new venues: Ramlila Maidan, Burari Ground in north Delhi, and CBD Ground in east Delhi.
The Hindustan Times notes that the Union ministry of home affairs has formed a committee to examine alternative venues for the right to organize protests in place of the existing designated site.
