Delhi Police Imposes Section 163 Ahead of CJP March
The Delhi Police have put a rule called Section 163 in place to stop big groups of people from gathering near the Parliament.
This is because a group called CJP wants to have a march there on July 20, 2026, but the police say they didn't ask for permission.
The rule means no big meetings, protests, or carrying things like sticks or banners in that area.
The only place where protests are allowed is Jantar Mantar Road, but you need to ask the police first.
If people don't follow these rules, they could get in trouble.
Delhi Police imposed Section 163 of the BNSS to restrict gatherings ahead of CJP's 'Chalo Sansad' march.
The order prohibits assemblies of five or more people, public meetings, processions, and carrying of protest materials in the New Delhi district, especially Parliament Street.
No permission has been sought or granted for the CJP's march, making it unauthorized under the current order.
The only designated protest site is Jantar Mantar Road, which requires prior written permission from the police.
Violations of the order can lead to action under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
