India Nov 11, 2025

Delhi Police have filed an FIR after hundreds gathered at India Gate on November 9, demanding urgent action against Delhi's worsening air pollution and protesting a Supreme Court ruling on stray dogs.
The crowd included environmental and animal rights activists who wanted their voices heard.

Protestors resisted leaving, caused traffic jams: Police

Despite being told to move the protest to Jantar Mantar for safety and traffic reasons, protesters stayed put and blocked Maan Singh Road.
Police say some resisted leaving, caused traffic jams, and even assaulted officers.
Around 60-80 people were detained—some got notices to appear before a magistrate while others were let go.
Legal proceedings are underway as Delhi continues to battle severe air quality issues.
