Delhi Police is on high alert ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament and the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) proposed “Chalo Sansad” march today, with heavy deployment of personnel visible at every nook and corner around Jantar Mantar, Parliament and other key locations.

Authorities have also imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the BNSS in the New Delhi district.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Sachin Sharma shared a public advisory on X yesterday, stating that “Delhi Police categorically clarifies that no permission has been sought or granted for any such protest march/procession.” The prohibitory order under Section 163 BNSS (formerly Section 144 CrPC) is currently in effect in the New Delhi district, according to the DCP’s post.

“Accordingly, protest marches, processions, demonstrations and assemblies of five or more persons are strictly prohibited, except at the designated protest site at Jantar Mantar, with prior permission,” the post read.

The DCP warned that any person violating these prohibitory orders could face prosecution under Section 223 BNS and other applicable laws.
