The national capital has been placed under tight security surveillance, with drone monitoring, multi-layer barricades, and tire-deflation spikes installed across key transit routes as members of Team CJP, led by Abhijeet Dipke, advance toward Jantar Mantar. The planned demonstration calls for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, citing alleged discrepancies in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls.
To maintain order, law enforcement has deployed over 40,000 personnel—comprising Delhi Police alongside Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs). Preventive actions began overnight, leading to the detention of more than 1,000 individuals and the clearance of gatherings in the vicinity of the demonstration ground.
