- Closure anticipates CJP’s planned ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ program.
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has announced that Central Park in Connaught Place will remain closed to the public on October 16 and 17, citing administrative reasons. Delhi Police said Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) is in force in and around Connaught Place and urged people not to join gatherings that violate the prohibitory orders. The closure comes ahead of CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke’s planned ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ programme at the park on Friday.
Police Warn Of Legal Action
Delhi Police said the NDMC had written to the force about the two-day closure and requested adequate security arrangements at the prominent public park. The civic body also asked the police to ensure that no unauthorised person enters the premises.
