Student groups AISA and RYA staged a march towards Raj Bhavan in Patna, assembling at Gandhi Maidan, while authorities limited sit‑in permission to Gurdani Bagh.
Patna witnessed a coordinated march today by the left‑leaning student organisations All India Students Association (AISA) and Revolutionary Youth Association (RYA). The demonstrators converged at Gandhi Maidan before proceeding towards the state secretariat at Raj Bhavan, signalling a sizable public display of dissent.
The district administration issued a clear directive that any sit‑in protest would be confined to Gurdani Bagh, a designated area in the city. Police officials reiterated that no other public space would be sanctioned for a prolonged occupation, citing crowd‑control considerations.
Despite the restriction, the student groups announced that they would continue with a large‑scale rally, emphasizing their intent to voice grievances on issues they deem critical. Organisers indicated that the march would proceed as planned, with participants expected to follow the permitted route while maintaining public order.
Law enforcement agencies have deployed additional personnel around Raj Bhavan and Gandhi Maidan to monitor the movement and ensure compliance with the stipulated limits. The situation remains calm, with no reports of clashes as of the latest update.
