Delhi Police have banned protests and gatherings in central parts of the capital till October 5, as demonstrations against voter-roll revision entered a second day on Saturday.

The order bars the assembly of five or more people without permission, along with processions, placards and dharnas, in the New Delhi, North and Central districts and police stations near the Delhi border. Violations are punishable under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

On Friday, police detained more than 700 people near Jantar Mantar, including AAP leaders Atishi, Saurabh Bhardwaj and Sanjay Singh, and student leaders Neha Bora and Vinod Jakhar. On Saturday, about 100 protesters removed barricades and chanted for the election chief’s resignation before being detained, Reuters reported.

The protesters demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The Election Commission says the exercise removes duplicate, deceased and ineligible voters.

The Cockroach Janta Party has called a march to Jantar Mantar on October 10 if Kumar does not resign.
