On Thursday, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) organized a “Shobha Yatra,” a march in honor of Hanuman Jayanti, in the national capital’s riot-damaged Jahangirpuri neighborhood. After Delhi Police permitted the demonstration within a specific radius in the same neighborhood, the right-wing group dispersed it.
“The procession organisers will follow the approved routes. Around 200-300 people will participate in one procession and around 500 people are expected to take part in another procession,” DCP stated.
Police said that stringent security measures were implemented in the area for the Hanuman Jayanti procession. “The route has been prepared. In order to maintain law and order, permission has been given to take out the Shobha Yatra within a certain distance. Discussion held with the organising committee and an appeal have been made to take out the Yatra as per law and order,” said Delhi Police
