Security around the ECI headquarters has been significantly heightened, with multiple layers of barricades set up by the Delhi Police and a heavy presence of Rapid Action Force personnel. The protest call was made following a meeting of 19 opposition parties on September 30, and leaders are expected to meet President Droupadi Murmu to voice their concerns over the SIR exercise.",
