A view of CBD Ground, one of the designated sites for holding protests and demonstrations in the national capital
A local said the ground is almost 1km long and 0.5km wide.
Govt can conveniently ignore them this way, and normal people will suffer,” said Anmol, a local. It is surrounded by malls on two sides with a prominent hotel on the third side. Residential colonies like Surajmal Vihar, Rishab Vihar and Karkardooma are situated nearby, leading to apprehension by locals over the feasibility of a protest here. The ground has multiple entry gates and is divided into four sections separated by walls. A protest can hold large, but separate, broken-up gatherings. the ground itself is poorly maintained, with patches of overgrown grass and weeds visible While the site is accessible using Karkardooma and Karkardooma Court metro stations. Garbage trucks are parked in one section, adding to concerns about the site’s readiness to host public gatherings. “Who will care if people protest here? The ground, he added, frequently hosts weddings and events that lead to severe congestion in the area, causing problems for commuters. “Most residents are from business families and travel every day to their shops. How will we go if the roads are jammed by constant movement of protesters?”
