On Tuesday, Bengaluru police refused to grant permission for a Tiranga protest organized by the Centre for Justice and Peace (CJP) at the city’s Town Hall. The request was denied on the grounds that the event could pose security risks and potentially lead to crowd congestion in the historic venue.
The police cited the need to maintain public order and prevent any disruptions to the daily functioning of the Town Hall. They also noted that the protest would attract a large number of participants, which could strain the existing security arrangements.
CJP officials responded that they would seek an alternative location to hold the protest and emphasized that the demonstration was intended to be peaceful and in support of national unity. The organization has not yet announced a new venue.
