Supreme Court Seeks Centre's Response on Protests at Ramlila Maidan During Festive Season
The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought responses from the Centre and others on a plea by traders' organisations seeking to halt ongoing protests against the Chief Election Commissioner at Ramlila Maidan during the festive season. The court emphasized that protest sites cannot be occupied indefinitely and must have designated times to balance the right to protest with public access and business interests. The bench also addressed related issues including alleged mass detentions, police actions, Metro closures, and internet shutdowns, while urging traders to include protest organisers as parties to their plea.
