Supporters from Delhi and neighbouring states gathered at the protest site amid heightened security.
Ahead of the event, Dipke appealed to participants through social media and public messages, asking them to carry plates and spoons to amplify their voices and draw attention to the concerns of students and youth.
Delhi Police deployed extensive security measures around Jantar Mantar and adjoining areas. CCTV cameras were installed at the venue, while nearly 270 body-worn cameras were issued to police personnel to monitor the gathering and maintain transparency.
