Stringent traffic restrictions in Delhi as CJP protest enters second day

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) announced plans for a protest at Jantar Mantar on Sunday at 10 am, following the detention of over 7,000 protesters by the Delhi Police on Saturday. The demonstration centered around alleged electoral roll irregularities and called for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) had initially shut down 45 metro stations due to the protest on Saturday, but all stations were reported to be open by 10 am.

However, no official update from DMRC had been issued regarding any restrictions on Sunday. Commuters were advised to check DMRC updates and allow extra time for travel through affected areas.
