mumbai had its last protest on 22nd july 2026. now, gatherings of five or more people have been prohibited under section 163 of the bnss from 23rd july to 6th august 2026. according to the police, the order was issued on law and order grounds amid the ongoing protests. i believe that, since many people have their eyes on delhi, this is a sneaky move to quietly quell the protests in the second most important city in india. it feels like this has been done to ensure that no more protests take place there. even if people do protest now, those protests would be illegal under the prohibitory order. we need more eyes on what's happening there. this is completely unacceptable behaviour by the government and an abuse of power.
