Delhi Police have denied permission for the Cockroach Janata Party's planned “Chalo Sansad” march scheduled for Monday [4].
This restriction comes as security is tightened across the National Capital Region to ensure public safety during the Parliament's upcoming monsoon session. The move highlights the government's effort to prevent unauthorized assemblies in high-security zones during critical legislative periods.
Authorities announced the intensified security measures on Sunday, July 19, 2026 [3]. The police have implemented prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Criminal Procedure Code [1]. These orders specifically restrict demonstrations, processions, and assemblies of five or more people [2].
“No permission has been granted for the planned ‘Chalo Sansad’ march,” a Delhi Police spokesperson said.
Security forces have increased their presence throughout the New Delhi district to maintain peace and prevent potential disruptions. The police said that strict action would be taken against those who violate the prohibitory orders or attempt to organize unauthorized protests ahead of the session.
The Cockroach Janata Party had planned the march for July 20, 2026, as a show of strength and a means to voice grievances before the legislative session began [4]. However, the police maintain that the security of the Parliament and the stability of the city take precedence over the party's request for a public gathering.
Officials said that the measures are necessary to prevent any breach of peace in the capital. The deployment of additional personnel and the imposition of legal restrictions are intended to keep the area around the Parliament clear of congestion, and protests.
“No permission has been granted for the planned ‘Chalo Sansad’ march.”
The invocation of Section 163 indicates a high level of caution by New Delhi authorities to preempt civil unrest during the monsoon session. By blocking the CJP's march and restricting small gatherings, the police are prioritizing the operational security of the legislative branch over the right to public assembly in the capital's central district.
