As Delhi prepares for significant protests against the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, thousands of security personnel have been deployed throughout the city. The Supreme Court has intervened, asking the government to find alternatives to block protests at Jantar Mantar, as the city is effectively locked down. Public transportation has faced severe restrictions, with metro access curtailed and train cancellations affecting commuters. Prohibitive measures include internet blackouts in key areas and heightened police presence, which some politicians argue is an excessive response to legitimate public dissent. Despite the crackdown, protest organizers remain determined, with reports of demonstrators seeking refuge in local Gurdwaras as the situation unfolds.
