NEW DELHI [NCRBuzz Wire] — ### Preventive Detentions En Route to Connaught Place
NEW DELHI — Delhi Police on Thursday detained activist Abhijeet Dipke and AISA leader Neha while they attempted to reach Connaught Place for a scheduled CJP 'Tiranga' demonstration. The preventive detentions occurred after organizers moved forward with the gathering despite prior administrative warnings from law enforcement.
### Traffic Disruption and Public Safety Concerns
Authorities cited severe potential traffic gridlock, risks to public safety, and undue commercial inconvenience to local traders as the primary operational grounds for intercepting the demonstrators. Concurrently, a separate group of student protestors affiliated with the SFI was halted by police personnel at Janpath-Tolstoy Marg as they tried to advance toward the Jantar Mantar corridor.
### Administrative Closures by Municipal Authorities
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) officially announced that Central Park within Connaught Place would remain entirely closed to the general public on October 16 and 17, citing necessary administrative reasons.
Connaught Place and adjacent corridors, including Janpath and Tolstoy Marg, are designated commercial and transit zones where political rallies require formal administrative clearance to avert severe transit disruptions and security hazards.
