1/5 On Tuesday, thousands gathered at Delhi's Central Secretariat to protest the government's new data privacy law. The rally began at 9:30 am, with chants of 'No surveillance, no silence!'
2/5 The protest was led by the Delhi Youth Forum and the Civil Liberties Coalition. They demand the bill be amended to guarantee judicial oversight, data deletion rights, and a sunset clause for mandatory data retention.
3/5 Police deployed tear gas and water cannons after a group of protesters threw stones at security vans. Six activists were detained; authorities cited Section 144 for crowd control.
4/5 Traffic snarls hit NH‑1 and the Ring Road. Buses ran late, and the Delhi Metro saw a 15‑minute delay as station staff evacuated platforms. The city’s 24‑hour power grid remained unaffected.
5/5 If you support civil liberties, sign the petition on the Delhi Youth Forum site and share this thread. Let’s push for transparent tech policies before the next election.
