The ongoing strike by Delhi's district court lawyers is set to continue on Thursday and Friday, as they oppose a new policy by the Lieutenant Governor. This policy permits police to present evidence virtually from police stations, a communication revealed.
The New Delhi Bar Association has spearheaded the protest, urging its members to refrain from work for five consecutive days since August 22. Their collective action is a response to the notification issued on August 13.
Tensions are expected to escalate on Friday, with a planned demonstration outside the Lieutenant Governor's residence. Bar association members aim to make the public aware of the perceived arbitrary nature of the new notification.
