Chandigarh, July 24: Chandigarh Police permitted students to assemble for peaceful demonstrations at Sector 17 Plaza, earning appreciation from participants who offered flowers to officers on duty. Protesters gathered for four consecutive evenings to express concerns regarding national examination processes while raising supportive slogans acknowledging the local administration’s cooperative presence.
“Chandigarh Police Zindabad,” chanting students maintained as they gathered to demand systemic transparency and educational reforms.
The administrative approach in Chandigarh stood in contrast to recent events in Delhi and Mumbai, where videos of security confrontations led to official inquiries and disciplinary actions. Protesters affirmed that their sit-in will remain active in a non-confrontational manner, while Chandigarh Police indicated they will maintain a facilitative presence to ensure public order while respecting peaceful democratic expression.
