‘Behind The Uniform Is A Human Being’: Delhi Police Issues Open Letter Ahead Of October 10 CJP Jantar Mantar Protest

Delhi Police has issued an open letter to citizens ahead of the planned Jantar Mantar protest scheduled for October 10. The letter emphasizes the police's responsibility to ensure public safety amid security restrictions and transport disruptions. The appeal comes after the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) called for a protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in electoral rolls.

The police have denied permission for the demonstration, leading to heightened tensions in the capital. The letter emphasizes that behind the uniform, there is also a human being with families and loved ones. Meanwhile, the INDIA bloc, led by Congress and Congress Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, is set to meet President Droupadi Murmu at 8 pm on Friday to discuss its demand for Kumar's resignation.

Security has been tightened, with 26,000 personnel from central security forces deployed across Delhi. 57 Metro stations are set to experience train cancellations, proposed restrictions, and increased police deployment, raising concerns about travel and movement in the national capital. Several schools and colleges have shifted classes online, rescheduled events, and postponed examinations due to security concerns and anticipated disruptions.
