The Delhi Police has issued a no-objection certificate (NOC) to the Congress to hold a rally at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi, clearing the way for the party to organise a public gathering between October 25 and November 3.
DCP Central Rohit Rajbir Singh confirmed that the venue would be available for booking during the 10-day period, according to reports. The Congress is yet to announce the rally date and its agenda.
The police clearance comes after Delhi removed Jantar Mantar from the list of designated protest sites and named Ramlila Maidan, Burari Ground and CBD Ground in East Delhi as alternative venues for demonstrations.
The change followed a review by a Union Home Ministry committee tasked with examining alternative locations for public protests. Delhi Police issued an order on October 11 formalising the new arrangements.
Ramlila Maidan has emerged as a key venue for political rallies and public demonstrations. However, limited availability and booking requirements could pose challenges for organisations planning large gatherings in the capital.
