  "account": "On November 1, the INDIA bloc is organizing a rally in New Delhi to demand the resignation of Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the electoral rolls. The protest will take place at Ramlila Maidan, a newly designated protest site. While this location is closer to Parliament than Jantar Mantar, which was recently designated, it is still a 6-kilometer drive away. Two other designated protest sites—CBD ground in Shahdara and Burari ground—are even farther from the capital. Booking Ramlila Maidan costs between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh per day. The Supreme Court recently ruled on whether protests can occur outside designated sites and if such sites are a prerequisite to the right to protest.",
