Jantar Mantar CJP protest: Hotels asked to turn away guests, CP to shut, schools and courts go online

Delhi is preparing for a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Jantar Mantar on Saturday, with hotels in the area instructed to restrict accommodations for certain guests and Connaught Place shops and offices advised to remain shut. Schools and courts have also shifted activities online. At least six hotels in Paharganj have received instructions from police personnel to not provide rooms to youngsters and students arriving from outside the state, while at least one guest from Chattarpur reported being turned away from Hotel Metropolis due to their Delhi address on their IDs.

The New Delhi Traders Association has advised establishments in Connaught Place to remain closed as a precautionary safety measure.
