Connaught Place and Delhi Markets Close Ahead of CJP Protest Amid Security Concerns
Ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party's planned protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10, the New Delhi Traders Association (NDTA) advised shops, offices, and restaurants in Connaught Place and other central Delhi markets to remain closed as a precaution against potential violence, property damage, and traffic disruptions. Delhi Police denied permission for the protest and deployed over 20,000 personnel. Traders warned of significant financial losses, estimating up to Rs 2,000 crore citywide, and urged relocating protests to less disruptive locations.
