Delhi Police Denies Central Park Rally Nod Citing Traffic & Safety Risks
Delhi Police denied permission for a planned gathering at Central Park in Connaught Place, citing major traffic disruptions in the heart of the national capital. Authorities stated that the unauthorised assembly could inconvenience peak-hour commuters, spill over into high-security zones, and impede emergency vehicle movement through narrow lanes. Prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita remain enforced in the area, with police warning of legal action under Section 223 against violations. Officials further noted that organisers had not sought prior permission and highlighted previous protests by the group that resulted in law-and-order disruptions.
