Background and earlier position: peaceful protests still require order-maintenance

In India, citizens have the right to assemble peacefully and express dissent, but public demonstrations also create law-and-order duties for police and local administration. Order-maintenance in protest settings generally means ensuring safe movement of crowds, preventing stampedes and bottlenecks, communicating with stakeholders, planning escalation control, and de-escalating quickly if tensions rise. Peaceful protest should not be treated as disorder by default; enforcement should be necessary, proportionate, and targeted at preventing harm.
