Connaught Place Traders Advise Closure Ahead of Planned Delhi Protest
Ahead of a planned protest by the Cockroach Janta Party at Delhi's Jantar Mantar demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, the New Delhi Traders Association (NDTA) has advised shops, offices, and restaurants in Connaught Place to remain closed on Saturday. The advisory, issued following authorities' guidance, aims to prevent potential violence, property damage, and traffic disruptions. Security has been heightened in central Delhi, with over 20,000 police and paramilitary personnel deployed to maintain order during the demonstration, which police have not permitted due to public order concerns.
