Event Summary

India — Pune City Police granted permission for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event scheduled for August 22 at SSPMS College ground, subject to 30 conditions. The conditions prohibit 'objectionable' banners or images, require organizers to avoid hurting religious sentiments, and mandate extensive security and civic arrangements including separate facilities for men and women, CCTV coverage, and compliance with noise pollution rules. The event, dedicated to female students, will address education, safety, equality, competitive exams, and career opportunities. The permission comes amid 14-day prohibitory orders imposed across Pune from August 18 to August 31, which Congress leader Pawan Khera alleged were aimed at disrupting Gandhi's programme, while police cited security for upcoming festivals and protests.
