Delhi's Connaught Place Central Park Closed Ahead of CJP's Flag March
Central Park in Delhi's Connaught Place will remain closed to the public on October 16 and 17 due to administrative reasons, as announced by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC). The closure precedes the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) planned 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march on October 16. Delhi Police have imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, warning against unauthorized gatherings and legal action for violations. Authorities have arranged for a limited group to carry the national flag and sing the anthem at an alternate location. The closure and security measures come amid heightened tensions following the arrest of CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, who are in judicial custody.
