Security across Delhi has been significantly tightened, with police deploying extra personnel at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, border entry points, and multiple sensitive locations ahead of the proposed CJP protest.
Officials said teams are stationed at key intersections and marketplaces, keeping a close watch on movement and ensuring law and order is maintained.
Over 1,000 police personnel are monitoring key areas around central Delhi and Jantar Mantar. Multiple tiers of heavy barricades have been erected across all primary ingress routes leading to the site to filter and control the entry of protesters.
Senior officers are conducting continuous on-site reviews, backed by real-time monitoring of social media feeds to track potential crowd movement. Drone units are tracking crowd density, student gatherings, and movement patterns in real-time across the New Delhi district.
