Delhi Braces For CJP Protest! Heavy Security Deployment Turns India's Capital Into Fortress

Well, political temperatures is on the rise in the national capital amid no let up in the protest against the Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, and seeking for his resignation. Day after its SIR tribunal campaign and the chappal protest in Bengaluru's Freedom Park, the CJP is now looking to press through with its Delhi Chalo call to the national capital. Now, with the demonstrators that are set to march on the 10th of October, Delhi is now bracing for a massive security challenge. The railways, which has cancelled mail and express train arrivals at New Delhi Railway Station and also at Hazrat Nizamuddin between 4 a.m. and 2 p.m., citing fears of severe traffic congestion. Thousands of police and paramilitary personnel that are also being mobilized and the capital is now turning into a fortress. For the proposed Kokoro Janata Party protest in the national capital on 10th of October, the Delhi police have put the national capital on high alert with massive deployment of security personnel on ground. Let me show you the visuals around. Now, this is a road which leads to Jantar Mantar. More than 20,000 to 26,000 Delhi police personnel, paramilitary and paramilitary personnel have been deployed across the national capital. Section 163 of the BNS is strictly enforced in the New Delhi district prohibiting unauthorized gathering, procession and roadblock and the Delhi police have stated that permission have not been granted for the demonstration calling the planned protest as illegal. Meanwhile, from the surveillance angle, face recognition system. Cameras are installed across key spots to track approximately 2,800 previously flagged individuals and multi-layer barricading CCTV network and drone cameras are actively monitoring key roads, border and sensitive areas. The police have also mounted loudspeakers across various areas to make sure that the announcements are being made loud and clear, that no permission has been given and the Delhi police have clearly said that this protest is illegal because no permission has been granted by the Delhi police. With video journalist Amal Das Basak, this is Abhisar Chiroy Chowdhury for Times Now. Now the Delhi police has also made its position clear ahead of the Delhi Chalo call, no permission that has been granted for the march. So how will the capital handle any attempt to proceed without authorization? Let's listen in when it comes to the Delhi joint CP and who is now outlining when it comes to the police's stand and the reasons behind it the request is not permitted it is denied, no protest is allowed on 10th and 163 BNSS is in operation in New Delhi district so it is advised that there should not be any breakdown of the order, there were previous instances, 17 FIRs were filed at a time and again the CGB kept on you know flouting the norms, those requests were not taken by them, do you think this is the reason because of which the permission has been denied, one of the reason is that that earlier lawful directions of police were not followed and their own undertakings they have not followed it also so this was also one of the reason why we have denied the permission, uh there's a request letter for the metro stations to uh be closed, what is that ma'am, that our DCP will brief you later about the law and order arrangement which we are keeping in place, meanwhile the Indian Railways which was also cancelled when it comes to the operations in the New Delhi railway station and Hazrat Nizamuddin, which has also triggered sharp reaction from the CJP, slamming the move ahead of Delhi Chalo March The CJP has taken aim at the centre, questioning if the move was triggered by fear of its own citizens. Let's get you this reaction. Police has denied the permission today in the press conference taken by the Delhi police They said there was no prior permission which was taken by CJP and they have only given 7 days of notice, not 10 days of notice What do you want to say? Are they trying to do something else right now? Did Ganesh Kumar take permission before deleting 13 crore votes? Did he take the permission? He did not What will your next step now after Delhi? We are going to do a peaceful march to Jantar Mantar and we'll follow the path of Mahatma Gandhi, that is Satyagraha And with that, it's a wrap on this edition of Urban Debate. Thank you very much for watching.
