Massive Security Deployment at Jantar Mantar

The situation in the national capital has become tense following a surge in protest activities, while on the morning of July 20, a massive crowd of protesters gathered at Jantar Mantar, prompting the Delhi Police to take significant security measures. An urgent message was dispatched to all 14 districts of Delhi, directing each district to immediately deploy one officer of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) rank along with 100 police personnel to the area. This mobilization was part of a larger strategy to maintain law and order in the face of increasing demonstrations.

Security Zones and Paramilitary Presence

The security arrangements in the New Delhi district have been Importantly bolstered. Even before the additional reinforcements from the 14 districts, 32 companies of paramilitary forces, comprising more than 2000 personnel, were already stationed in the area. To manage the security effectively, the district has been divided into 12 specific zones. The area surrounding Jantar Mantar was transformed into a virtual fortress ahead of the planned march by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) towards Parliament on Monday morning.

CJP Protest and Clashes with Police

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has been leading a protest against the alleged irregularities in the National Entrance Test (NEET) for medical colleges. The protesters are demanding the immediate resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in connection with the paper leak case. On the first day of the Parliament's Monsoon Session, clashes erupted between CJP supporters and the police during the proposed "Chalo Sansad" march, while the police reportedly resorted to a lathi-charge to disperse the crowd after warning the protesters against any attempt to march towards the Parliament building. Sonam Wangchuk, who had been on a hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, was moved to the hospital by the Delhi Police on Saturday, citing concerns over his deteriorating health.
