Delhi Police denies permission for a proposed march by the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) to Parliament on July 20, the first day of the Monsoon Session. Police say no permission is sought or granted for the event and that prohibitory orders are in force across New Delhi district, which restrict assemblies. Authorities warn that people who participate in any unauthorized gathering will face legal action under applicable provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
The police statement also comes amid broader legal and public-order developments around climate activist Sonam Wangchuk. Reported by outlets in the context of the march, Wangchuk is said to have supported the protest and was previously taken away from Jantar Mantar after an indefinite hunger strike. One source notes that the Delhi High Court has upheld the Centre’s intervention in Wangchuk’s hunger strike, setting out the backdrop for the police position.
Delhi Police asks the public to cooperate to ensure security and order during the upcoming Parliament session.
