20,000 Cops, 300 Cameras, 12 Detention Centres: Delhi's Plan to Contain CJP Protest
Delhi Police expects about 7,000 protesters and has set up detention centres, while rail and metro restrictions aim to block travel to Jantar Mantar.
- Advocate Shailendra Mani Tripathi filed a contempt petition in the Supreme Court today, challenging the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's closure of 57 stations amid Anti-CEC protests in Delhi citing "blanket shutdown across transit corridors."
- The Supreme Court had mandated on October 9 that authorities switch from "prohibition' to proportionate 'regulation'" to avoid citizen inconvenience. However, the DMRC closed entry and exit gates at 57 stations starting at 9 p.m. Friday, defying the judicial order.
- Tripathi's petition accuses officials of "deliberate recalcitrance," seeking contempt proceedings against Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar, and DMRC Chairperson D. Thara for willful non-compliance with court directions.
- The shutdown has severely crippled public life across the National Capital Territory, stranding essential travelers. The apex court ordered authorities to submit compliance reports within four days of the October 9 ruling.
- This dispute follows Tripathi's earlier legal action concerning police conduct during July's NEET-UG protests. The current filing reflects tension between security measures during Anti-CEC demonstrations and the Supreme Court's insistence on maintaining essential transport services.
