Law enforcement agencies in the national capital have intensified security arrangements ahead of a planned protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10. Delhi Police have installed multiple barricades and deployed spike strips at key entry points to manage the anticipated gathering and control vehicle movement in the area.
The demonstration has been called by the CJP, which is seeking the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The group has alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision process, prompting the organized protest action.
Police preparations underscore the significance authorities place on managing the public demonstration while maintaining order in the central Delhi location. The deployment of security infrastructure is a standard precautionary measure for large gatherings at high-profile protest venues in the capital.
The Commissioner's office has not yet publicly responded to the resignation demand. The October 10 protest is expected to draw participants from various sections seeking accountability regarding the election management concerns raised by the CJP.
