Delhi Deploys Over 20,000 Security Personnel Ahead of CJP Protest

Delhi authorities have mobilized more than 20,000 police and paramilitary personnel ahead of a planned Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest, according to a senior officer. No official permission has been issued for any rally at the Jantar Mantar site, and officials have appealed to citizens to stay away from any unauthorized gatherings. Specific directives have been given to security forces on how to interact with women protesters and to avoid unnecessary clashes.

Police also cautioned the public against believing or sharing unverified content on social media. The CJP, together with several student groups, is calling for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, accusing him of overseeing the removal of lakhs of voters through a Special Intensive Revision of Voter lists. The heavy security presence reflects heightened tension and the government's intent to prevent disorder.
