New Delhi: Security arrangements are being strengthened in the national capital ahead of a protest scheduled for October 10 by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. According to media reports, around 7,000 personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), currently deployed in Chhattisgarh and West Bengal, are being called to Delhi on the directions of the Union Home Ministry to help maintain law and order.

Media reports indicate that the communication concerning the deployment described the matter as “MOST URGENT.”

Instructions to Carry Anti-Riot Equipment and Ammunition

According to reports, the concerned CRPF units have been instructed to remain prepared for deployment with modern anti-riot equipment, weapons required for operations, and the prescribed quantity of ammunition. Personnel have also reportedly been briefed on duty requirements, discipline and security precautions.

In view of the proposed protest, security arrangements are being strengthened in sensitive areas of Delhi. Media reports have also highlighted plans for additional deployment of central armed police forces and enhanced monitoring across the capital.

Amit Shah Reportedly to Remain in Delhi

According to media reports, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will remain in Delhi to monitor the situation. It has also been reported that he has cancelled his scheduled visits outside the capital. However, these claims require separate official confirmation.

Protest Demanding Gyanesh Kumar’s Resignation

The CJP and various organisations have called for a protest on October 10 against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The key demand is his resignation, along with greater accountability on issues related to the electoral process.

Delhi has witnessed protests over related issues in the past. With the latest demonstration approaching, the administration is preparing to maintain law and order while balancing public safety with the right to peaceful protest.

Authorities are expected to remain alert before and during the demonstration to prevent any untoward incidents and ensure that public order is maintained.
