CAIT to meet on Nov 13 to discuss shifting protests to outskirts, says BJP MP Khandelwal

The Central Administrative Initiative Team (CAIT) scheduled a meeting for 13 November to consider a demand that protests be moved to designated zones on the periphery of urban areas. The notice, issued through a press release, indicated that the agenda will focus on identifying suitable locations for demonstrations outside city limits.\nBJP parliamentarian Khandelwal reiterated the call, arguing that earmarking specific outskirts sites would reduce disruption in city centres while providing a lawful space for citizens to voice grievances. He suggested that each city should have at least one such venue, or alternative appropriate areas, to accommodate large gatherings.\nOfficials have not yet disclosed the criteria for site selection or the timeline for implementation. The proposal comes amid a series of recent protests across the country, prompting authorities to seek a balance between public order and the right to assemble.
