CJP October 10 Delhi protest news: Internet to be suspended in 4-km radius of Janpath-Kartvya Path starting 10 pm Friday

Internet connectivity will be disrupted in a 4-kilometer radius of Janpath-Kartavya Path Cross in central Delhi from 10 pm on Friday, October 9th, until 10 pm on Saturday, October 10th, according to a letter from Delhi Police Deputy Commissioner Manishi Chandra to telecom company officials. The suspension was requested in anticipation of a protest organized by the Cockroach Janta Party and student groups at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar on Saturday, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the reversal of the special intensive revision of electoral rolls.

The move was approved by the Union Home Secretary following the police request. The Supreme Court expressed concern over restrictions that could disrupt daily life for citizens who are not participating in the protests, particularly affecting ordinary citizens, children, and senior citizens.
