India: INC supporters plan to protest outside Chief Minister's residence in Bhopal from 10:00 Aug. 11

Event

Supporters of the Indian National Congress (INC) plan to hold a protest outside the Chief Minister's residence in Bhopal from 10:00 Aug. 11. The purpose of the protest is to condemn the perceived failures of the Madhya Pradesh State government, especially policies that impact traditionally marginalized caste groups. Hundreds of people will likely take part in the rally.

Ground transport disruptions are likely near the Chief Minister's residence Aug. 11. A heavy security presence is likely in the area and police could use roadblocks to prevent INC supporters from gathering near the residence. Protesters could also march along nearby roads and set up roadblocks. Clashes between police and protesters are possible.

Advice

Avoid the Chief Minister's residence and nearby areas due to the possibility of clashes Aug. 11. If clashes break out, leave the area immediately and take shelter in a secure, non-governmental building. Heed all security personnel instructions. Allow additional travel time in areas near the protest site in Bhopal.
