Prayagraj: Venue provider revokes permission for Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event
Business To Business Prayagraj, 05 August, 2026: The Kayastha Pathshala Trust has withdrawn permission for Rahul Gandhi's proposed 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' programme, which was scheduled to be held at KP Ground on August 8.
According to the trust, the decision was based on two reasons:
- An Allahabad High Court order.
- Waterlogging at the venue.
The trust's acting president,
Jitendra Nath Chaudhary, said the High Court, in an order dated
August 14, 2025, had directed that the
KP College ground should not be used for purposes other than
sports and educational activities.
The trust said that, in view of the court's directions and the condition of the ground due to waterlogging, it had decided to revoke the permission granted for the programme.
The development relates to the use of the venue and does not, by itself, indicate whether the event will be relocated or rescheduled.
