Delhi Police withhold permission for Oct. 2 Jantar Mantar protest
In short
Delhi Police sources said no permission has been given yet for the October 2 protest at Jantar Mantar against CEC Gyanesh Kumar. The summary also says Mumbai Police denied a separate gathering at Shivaji Park for legal reasons.
This matters because opposition parties and civil society groups are trying to hold protests in more than one city. It is still not clear whether any of the demonstrations will go ahead as planned.
What the reporting says
Delhi Police sources said no permission has been granted for the planned October 2 protest at Jantar Mantar against CEC Gyanesh Kumar. The publisher-supplied summary says opposition parties and civil society groups are mobilizing demonstrations across India, and Mumbai Police also denied a parallel gathering at Shivaji Park because of legal constraints. The immediate outcome is that the protest remains unapproved, while the broader scale and final schedule are still unclear.
Why it matters

The publisher-supplied summary also says Mumbai Police denied a separate Shivaji Park gathering on legal grounds, while opposition parties and civil society groups are mobilizing across India. What remains unknown is whether permissions will be granted later or whether the demonstrations will proceed in another form.
