Heavy traffic congestion was reported across several parts of central Delhi on Saturday as police tightened security and deployed personnel at key locations ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) planned protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The demonstration was planned at Jantar Mantar despite permission not being granted for it, prompting security arrangements and traffic restrictions across the capital.
Delhi Police imposed traffic restrictions from 6 am, with barricades, vehicle checks and diversions slowing movement on several roads leading towards the protest site. Police personnel were deployed in large numbers to monitor traffic and prevent the unauthorised gathering from taking place.
