Police warning on loudspeakers, strict checks, hundreds detained: Latest updates on CJP Delhi protest
Delhi is under heightened alert on Saturday, as the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and its supporters plan to protest at Jantar Mantar, demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over SIR irregularities. Police have denied the demonstration, citing security concerns and violations of protest conditions. Traffic restrictions, metro closures and train cancellations are affecting commuters across the city.
CJP leaders, including Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, will go ahead with the protest, despite the restrictions. Delhi Police has advised citizens to stay away from the unlawful gathering, and the New Delhi Traders Association has advised shops and restaurants to remain closed as a precaution. Around 25,000 police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed, with transport restrictions expected to cause disruptions throughout the day.
