The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) will continue its protest in Delhi on Sunday, holding fast to its demand for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. At least 7,000 individuals were detained during the previous day's demonstration. Delhi Police have imposed strict security measures, sealing Jantar Mantar, erecting barricades at the city's borders, and blocking traffic at 30 locations.
The police aim to prevent protesters from gathering at Jantar Mantar or entering New Delhi on Sunday. Over 40,000 security personnel, including 26,000 reinforcements, are deployed to manage the situation. Jantar Mantar remains closed, and journalists are barred from entering. Metro and train services will resume on Sunday, but traffic regulations will persist.
The INDIA bloc plans a separate protest for Monday, with opposition leaders aiming to urge the Supreme Court to expedite related cases.
