Several people were detained after around 300 protesters gathered at Delhi’s Connaught Place to demand reforms in the reservation system. Police said more than 20 people were removed as the protest had not received permission. The demonstration was organised under the banner of Reservation Hatao Andolan, with protesters calling for greater focus on economic criteria and a review of the existing quota system. They also demanded changes related to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. Police said prohibitory orders were in force in the area, restricting gatherings and demonstrations without permission. (PC: HT)
