Delhi Police Proposes 50,000-Cap on Gatherings at Ramlila Ground

Delhi Police has prepared a fresh set of proposed guidelines to regulate public gatherings and demonstrations at Ramlila Ground, setting a proposed limit of 50,000 participants and a fixed time window of 10 am to 5 pm for such events.

The proposed guidelines aim to bring protests and public programmes at the Central Delhi venue under a defined framework of safety, security and administrative arrangements.

A senior police officer told ANI that the draft



Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been sent to Delhi Police Headquarters for approval. The proposal is currently at an initial stage, and its provisions are yet to be finalised.

Under the proposed arrangements, organisers will have to obtain clearance from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) regarding the availability of the venue before approaching the police for permission. Applications will ordinarily have to be submitted at least 10 days before the proposed event.
