The Delhi Police have filed 20 FIRs in connection with attempts to hold an unauthorised protest at Jantar Mantar, the capital's prominent demonstration site. The registrations come as part of enhanced security measures implemented across Delhi, particularly in the vicinity of Jantar Mantar where police had declined to grant permission for the proposed agitation.
The move reflects the police's enforcement of existing protocols governing demonstrations in the capital. Jantar Mantar, located in New Delhi's Connaught Place area, has long served as a designated venue for protests and remains subject to strict regulatory oversight during periods of heightened alert.
Details regarding the specific nature of the planned protest or the individuals against whom FIRs have been registered were not immediately available. The police action underscores the administration's commitment to maintaining law and order during periods when security concerns necessitate tighter restrictions on public gatherings.
The registration of multiple FIRs signals the authorities' intent to deter any unauthorised assembly attempts in the area. Such enforcement measures are typically adopted when police assessments indicate potential risks to public order or when demonstration organisers fail to secure necessary clearances from relevant government agencies.
