A new PIL in Supreme Court says it lacks basic facilities: no washrooms, no water, no medical aid, no proper entry/exit. And it’s causing major disruption to residents. The court has now asked the Centre, Delhi Govt, and Police to explain why we still use it; or where else protests should go. Think about it; thousands gather here for everything from student agitations to farmer marches. But if the infrastructure can’t handle it, how safe is it really? What happens when emotions run high and there’s nowhere to go? The petition also references the July 20 clashes after a student march to Parliament; a reminder that poorly planned protest zones can turn tense fast. With Delhi’s population growing and traffic already unbearable, maybe it’s time to rethink where we let democracy shout. This isn’t about stopping protests; it’s about making them safer, smarter, and less disruptive. Could this lead to protest zones across NCR? Stay tuned.
