Delhi Police propose 50,000-person cap, 7-hour window for Ramlila Maidan protests

Delhi Police drafted new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to regulate protests and public gatherings at Ramlila Maidan. Under the proposed guidelines, the venue will have a maximum capacity of 50,000 participants, with protests permitted only between 10 am and 5 pm. The move comes after Jantar Mantar was de-notified as a protest venue in October, with three alternative sites designated.
