Delhi's New CBD Protest Site Faces Criticism Over Conditions And High Fees

A ground report on Delhi Development Authority's 12-acre CBD Ground near Karkardooma reveals severe unhygienic conditions, foul smells, and a lack of lighting or boundary walls. Designated as an alternative protest site by Delhi Police, the venue is booked for Ramlila and Dussehra until late October and lacks a non-political civic category, incurring steep commercial booking fees.

Meanwhile, Indian Youth Congress and NSUI members staged protests outside Parliament Street Police Station. They condemned the alleged manhandling of two female workers by police during an earlier demonstration in Connaught Place.

Editor's note: Confuses the two entirely separate news items in the source (the DDA protest site and the Congress protest) into a single confused narrative.
