Delhi Police seeks cancellation of Tiranga march; Central Park blockade planned

Delhi Police have urged Abhijeet Dipke to cancel his proposed 'Lehra Do Tiranga' (Unfurl the Tricolour) march scheduled for Central Park, raising traffic and public order concerns. The request came during an interaction between police personnel and Dipke that was livestreamed by the Concerned Journalists Project, offering a rare real-time view of the exchange.

Authorities indicated they plan to implement a blockade of Central Park to facilitate traffic movement in the vicinity, suggesting significant congestion is anticipated if the rally proceeds as planned. The police cited the need to maintain smooth vehicular flow in the high-traffic central Delhi area as a primary reason for seeking the event's postponement or cancellation.

Dipke's response to the police request remained part of the livestreamed interaction, reflecting the growing practice of activists documenting such administrative exchanges with authorities. The incident underscores ongoing tensions between civic organizers and Delhi Police over public assembly permissions in central locations.

No official decision on the march's status has been announced as of the latest reports.
