What Happened

Delhi Police deployed more than 6,000 personnel, supported by 220 companies of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)'s proposed “Lehra Do Tiranga” march scheduled for 16 October at Connaught Place. Authorities installed additional CCTV cameras, erected barricades at key locations, and expanded security across Connaught Place, Rajiv Chowk, Jantar Mantar and nearby areas. The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) also closed Central Park for two days citing administrative reasons.

Key Takeaways

The deployment reflects a significant preventive security operation by Delhi authorities ahead of a politically sensitive demonstration. Police said prohibitory orders remain in force and indicated that only a limited, regulated flag-waving event could be permitted at an alternative location.
