Delhi Police have imposed Section 163 in New Delhi ahead of a proposed protest at Jantar Mantar against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. This section bars gatherings of five or more people without permission, demonstrations, slogans, and certain items.

Security has been strengthened across central Delhi, with police personnel deployed at key locations and arrangements made to regulate movement in and around Jantar Mantar, according to NDTV. The police have denied permission for the protest, scheduled to begin at 11 am on Gandhi Jayanti, and have taken preventive measures.

The protest, called by the All India Students Association, Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Jha, and Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan, is expected to draw 3,000 to 4,000 people, prompting heightened security arrangements in the area, as per the Free Press Journal. Central Armed Police Forces personnel have been deployed alongside Delhi Police teams at Jantar Mantar.
