Meanwhile, thousands of students and youth have gathered at Jantar Mantar around the 'Chalo Sangsad' program. The crowd started increasing since Sunday night. CJP has alleged that the central government is avoiding accountability in the NET irregularities.
Meanwhile, in the morning, a section of protesters tried to break the barricades and scuffled with the security guards. Members of the Rapid Action Force were deployed at the scene. Eyewitnesses claim that lathicharge was used to disperse the crowd. However, Delhi Police initially denied this allegation. In a statement issued to X, they said that there was no incident of lathicharge or use of force at Jantar Mantar. The protest situation is being handled professionally. Do not listen to rumors.
No permission for a procession towards Parliament
According to police sources, the protesters will not be allowed to march towards Parliament. Their advance limit has been set to Kerala Bhavan. No one will be allowed to cross the barricades. Delhi Police has already clarified that no permission has been taken for the procession towards Parliament.

About 10,000 police and security personnel have been deployed in Parliament, Jantar Mantar and other sensitive areas. Five important metro stations of Delhi Metro have been closed due to security reasons. Trains will remain closed until further notice.
