Residents living near Shivaji Park in central Mumbai have voiced strong opposition to a planned protest scheduled to take place at the landmark venue, expressing concerns about the mounting impact of repeated demonstrations on the locality.
Local community members argued that frequent protests at the park have become disruptive, affecting both public order and commercial activities in the surrounding area. Business owners and residents said the recurring demonstrations force them to shut down operations and restrict movement, creating economic losses.
One resident operating an office near Shivaji Park said he has been forced to keep his workplace closed during protest periods, citing the inability to conduct normal business operations amid the demonstrations.
The concerns raised by residents highlight the tension between public demonstration rights and the needs of local communities seeking uninterrupted access to commercial and residential spaces. Authorities have yet to respond to the residents' objections regarding the proposed CJP gathering.
