The Congress party has announced a march starting from CP to Ramleela Maidan in Delhi, while police say the rally lacks official permission.
Delhi: The Indian National Congress has declared that it will organise a march beginning at the CP area and proceeding to Ramleela Maidan later this week. The party framed the movement as a demonstration of public support ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
Police officials, however, have publicly stated that no formal permission has been obtained for the procession. Senior officers from the Delhi Police said they have not received any application or clearance under the relevant law governing public assemblies.
The discrepancy has raised concerns about potential clashes and the need for additional security arrangements. Authorities have warned that any unauthorized gathering could be dispersed under existing public order regulations, while the Congress maintains that it will adhere to legal requirements once clarified.
The announcement comes amid heightened political activity in the capital, with several parties scheduling rallies ahead of the next state assembly elections.
Stakeholders are awaiting further clarification from both the party and the police to determine whether the march will proceed as planned or be postponed pending official approval.
