24-hour ban on mobile internet in Delhi?
As part of security arrangements, it has been announced that mobile internet services will be temporarily closed within a radius of four kilometres around the Janpath-Kartavya Path intersection. According to available information, this restriction will remain in force from 10 pm on October 9 to 10 pm on October 10.
The objective of administration is to maintain law and order during possible tensions. However, the ban on internet services may cause problems for local people, businessmen and travellers.
Why did Delhi Police not allow the demonstration?
Delhi Police refused to approve CJP’s proposed demonstration, saying the application was received much later than the scheduled time. According to the police, it is necessary to apply at least 10 days in advance for the programme at Jantar Mantar, whereas the information was given by the party on October 7.
The police also cited that the conditions and instructions laid down during the last protest were not followed. Apart from this, concerns related to public safety, traffic and law and order have been cited as the reason for not granting permission.
Was Section 163 implemented?
Delhi Police has imposed restrictive orders under Section 163 of the Indian Civil Security Code (BNSS) in New Delhi district. According to the police, legal action can be taken if any gathering or demonstration takes place without permission during these orders.
In such a situation, there is a possibility of tension between the protesters trying to reach Jantar Mantar and the police. The administration has appealed to the people to follow the restrictions and avoid visiting the affected areas unnecessarily.
Did the party claim to have detained 10 thousand people?
CJP has claimed that around 10,000 people have been detained in different parts of the country before the demonstration. According to the party, these include workers, students, farmers and people associated with Dalit organizations. However, this number of people detained has not been independently confirmed and this claim has not been confirmed by the police either.
Movement of common people may be affected due to security restrictions in Delhi, closure of metro stations and changes in rail services. There is a tense situation between CJP and the police regarding the demonstration. The future situation will depend on how the party leaders proceed to protest and what steps the administration takes to maintain law and order.
