    Delhi Police denies permission
  • Delhi Police denied approval to the AAP government's 'Car-Free Day' event designed to be held later in October.

    It reasoned that administration had not held 'prior consultation' with the police before taking the call in this regard.​

    The Police Commissioner BS Bassi said 'Car-Free Day', scheduled to be held on October 22, coincided with "Dussehra which seems to be hasty and quite impractical."

  • The denial of permission by Bassi came as a surprise as the local police officials had bee conveyed "that they had no objections for the observance of a car-free day on the proposed stretch" earlier in October.
