The Delhi Police has given a no-objection certificate (NOC) for a peaceful protest under the “Reservation Hatao Andolan” at city’s Ramlila Ground on Friday, according to an official communication issued by the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central District.
Delhi police issue guidelines
The permission comes after the Delhi Police had denied reports that permission had been granted for a protest at Jantar Mantar. The latest communication, however, grants permission for the gathering at Ramlila Ground, subject to the organisers following guidelines prescribed under relevant Delhi Police standing orders. The police also warned that the NOC could be revoked at any stage if the organisers fail to comply with the stipulated conditions.
The NOC allows a maximum of 500 people to gather at the venue until 4 pm, with the police stating that it had “no objection” for the protest from “law and order point of view”. “No permission has been granted for any protest, procession, demonstration or assembly at Jantar Mantar,” the police said in a statement shared on its official X account on Thursday. The police said that any type of procession or stay is not allowed and directed the organisers to comply with all instructions and guidelines issued by police authorities from time to time.
