CJP protest: Delhi Police expects 7,000 protesters

New Delhi authorities anticipate approximately 7,000 protesters to gather in the city on Saturday, according to a senior police official. At a briefing prior to the demonstration, officers instructed personnel to maintain a professional demeanor and exercise maximum restraint during the event. Police were directed not to react to any provocative actions by protesters and to ensure a calm operation.

Delhi Police has made it clear that unauthorized gatherings will not be tolerated. Personnel have been instructed to detain those arriving for the protest and transport them to designated detention centers. The police also emphasized that individuals claiming to be independent journalists attempting to provoke police personnel or incite confrontation may face action, depending on the circumstances.

When asked about the possibility of relocating protesters to Ramlila Maidan, police clarified that no formal application for permission to hold a demonstration at the site has been received. A formal application would need to be submitted to the relevant authorities before a decision could be made.

Senior officers have emphasized the importance of maintaining discipline and professionalism among the police force. Senior police officers will remain present at the scene and make necessary decisions based on the evolving situation. This comes in light of the Cockroach Janta Party's protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10, which was against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
