CRPF Deployed to Delhi Ahead of CJP Protest
The Ministry of Home Affairs is mobilizing 70 companies of the Central Reserve Police Force, totaling approximately 7,000 personnel, from Chhattisgarh and West Bengal to Delhi. The deployment follows a protest call for October 10 by the Cockroach Janta Party, which demands the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Units have been ordered to carry anti-riot equipment and operational-scale weapons.
Home Minister Amit Shah has cancelled scheduled visits to Telangana, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Manipur to remain in Delhi and monitor the situation. Security arrangements are being intensified around Jantar Mantar, where protesters are expected to converge to allege irregularities during the intensive revision of electoral rolls.
