Delhi Police grants Congress NOC for November 1 rally at Ramlila Maidan
On September 30, the INDIA bloc finalised a joint action plan over the SIR (Special Intensive Revision) row, including rallies and ‘save democracy marches’
On October 17, 2026, the Delhi Police issued a no-objection certificate (NOC) to the Congress party for their planned rally at Ramlila Maidan on November 1. This decision came after the party finalized a joint action plan with the INDIA bloc, which included rallies and 'save democracy marches' in response to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) row and alleged irregularities by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
The Congress had initially sought permission from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to use the venue. Once granted permission, the party reached out to the Delhi Police for the necessary NOC. DCP Rohit Rajbir Singh announced that the police had granted the certificate, allowing the Congress to use the ground from October 25 to November 3.
The Shree Keshav Ram Leela Committee, which organizes the Ramlila in Pitampura, announced its own initiative at the same venue. They plan to burn a 30-foot cockroach effigy alongside Ravan, symbolizing filth and dirt and part of the Swachh Bharat and Swachh Delhi campaigns.
