Must seek Jantar Mantar protest permission 10 days before event: Delhi Police
The clarification from Delhi police comes as security has been heightened in central Delhi, with the INDIA bloc holding a protest demanding the removal of CEC Gyanesh Kumar, and the CJP planning a protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10
The Delhi Police has reiterated that permission for protests at Jantar Mantar must be sought 10 days in advance. This rule came into effect following a 2018 Supreme Court judgment in the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan vs Union of India case. The INDIA bloc leaders are seeking the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over his role in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
They plan to protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10, with thousands expected to participate. The police have designated Ramlila Maidan for larger gatherings of 1,000 to 50,000 people, while protests exceeding 50,000 are to be held at Burari.
