New Parliament Building inauguration: Amid reports of protests near the new Parliament Building which will be inaugurated on May 28 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Delhi Police has increased security around the vicinity.
The Delhi Police has deployed more than 70 cops including ACP rank officers for the security and monitoring of the ceremony. The decision was taken after there were inputs that anti-government and anti-PM slogans can be written on the walls outside the new Parliament Building.
Along with the cops' deployment, CCTVs have also been placed for monitoring.
Following Khap Panchayat's call for a Mahila Panchayat in support of protesting wrestlers against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in front of the new Parliament building on May 28, the day of its inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Delhi Police has decided to close all borders in order to prevent any protest or gathering, said sources. According to Delhi Police top sources, no permission has been given for this panchayat yet.
