Bengaluru Police Restrict Protests to Freedom Park Ahead of Tiranga March
Bengaluru police have issued notices to several protest groups, including AISA and SFI, ahead of the Tiranga March planned from Town Hall to Freedom Park on October 23, emphasizing that protests are permitted only at Freedom Park with prior permission. Organisers and activists argue these restrictions limit the right to protest in public spaces. Recent protests at Town Hall have seen detentions and denied permissions, while some marches have been allowed with police cooperation. The legal basis for restricting protests to Freedom Park remains contested.
