The Congress-led INDIA bloc has received a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Delhi Police for its November 1 rally at the Ramlila Maidan against alleged electoral irregularities, but the permission comes with a set of conditions related to crowd management, CCTV surveillance, speeches, transport and the time by which the gathering must disperse.

Speaking at a public hearing event in Trilokpuri in the national Capital, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi asserted that the Opposition will not stop its protests against the SIR exercise till Kumar resigns or Prime Minister Narendra Modi removes him as the CEC.

The rally is scheduled for November 1, between 10 am and 5 pm.

The organisers have been directed to install high-definition cameras at strategic locations, including the entry and exit gates, the stage, the surrounding areas of Ramlila Maidan and the seating enclosures. The surveillance arrangements must include recording facilities, monitoring systems with at least five screens and a dedicated CCTV control room.

The Delhi Police is preparing to deploy around 3,500 personnel and use more than 200 CCTV cameras for security at the designated protest site. Police have divided the venue into 14 zones for crowd management and called in 10 companies of reserve forces, body-worn cameras and surveillance-equipped vehicles.
