This admission comes amidst criticisms of the police's approach to managing large-scale protests, which have reportedly impacted tourism, retail, and public services negatively. The report highlights a public call for a more balanced approach to protest management, emphasizing the need to protect the rights and daily activities of those not involved in the demonstrations.
