Delhi liquor shops open or closed tomorrow? Check government order amid CJP's Jantar Mantar protest call against CEC
Delhi will close all retail liquor outlets on October 10, Saturday, as a precaution to maintain public order amid political demonstrations and a planned youth-led protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) over alleged voter-roll discrepancies.
Delhi Police has unveiled a comprehensive security plan for Saturday's planned protest by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar, despite being denied permission. To facilitate the movement of detained protesters, around 600 low-floor buses will be made available, providing a lower boarding height for easier access. Police personnel wearing body-worn cameras will be deployed at select flashpoints and pickets to record interactions with protesters and ensure accountability.
The city will be divided into 23 zones, each overseen by senior officers, border pickets, and reserve forces, to prevent protesters from converging on sensitive locations such as Lutyens’ Delhi. The security grid around New Delhi district, where Jantar Mantar is situated, will be strengthened with 22 Deputy Commissioner of Police-rank officers deployed to oversee arrangements at key locations and respond to emerging situations.
Women police personnel will also be deployed to manage crowds. Additionally, 30 temporary detention centers will be set up across various districts to accommodate detainees during the operation.
