The Delhi Police has banned any kind of large gatherings in and around India Gate on Friday. The order was issued ahead of a protest planned in front of the war memorial against the brutal gangrape of a Dalit woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras district, according to NDTV.
“No gathering is permissible around India Gate due to imposition of Section 144 CrPC,” the Delhi Police tweeted. However the police said a total of 100 people can assemble at Jantar Mantar, 3 km from India Gate, if they have the permission of the “competent authority”.
The general public is hereby informed that in view of DDMA order dated 03.09.2020 a total gathering upto 100 persons is permissible at the designated place i.e. Jantar Mantar and that too with prior permission of the competent authority.
