Delhi Police Clears INDIA Bloc Rally At Ramlila Maidan, Says No Permission For Rahul Gandhi's Proposed March From CP

Delhi Police has issued a no-objection certificate for the INDIA bloc's rally at Ramlila Maidan on November 1, but clarified that there is no permission granted for a march from Connaught Place to the venue. This clarification follows Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi's invitation for people to join a march from Minto Road to Ramlila Maidan ahead of the INDIA bloc's rally against the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

The INDIA bloc rally at Ramlila Maidan has been permitted from 10 am to 5 pm, subject to strict conditions, while the proposed procession from Connaught Place has not been authorized. Rahul Gandhi announced the march from Minto Road on X, urging people to join the walk together. However, Delhi Police reiterated that no permission has been sought for the proposed march and that MPs and political leaders can travel to designated locations of their choice.

The rally will see extensive security arrangements, with personnel from multiple police districts and paramilitary forces deployed. Meanwhile, INDIA bloc leaders have postponed a public impeachment program against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar due to rain, rescheduling it for the next day at the same time.
