India: Activists to protest outside Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat State, June 13

Event

The Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) and other groups representing the Patidar community will protest in Ahmedabad, the evening of June 13. Organizers have called for a demonstration outside Gate 1 of the Narendra Modi Stadium to demand the reinstation of the venue's name to Sardar Vallabhai Patel Stadium. Dozens of people may join the event, despite the police detaining several Patidar leaders in the lead-up to the rally and a related June 12 protest as a precaution.

Security personnel will likely deploy to the site and attempt to prevent or disperse the gathering. Skirmishes between protesters and security forces are possible. Localized transport disruptions may occur due to protestor roadblocks or security-related traffic restrictions. Travel delays are possible along routes to the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD).

Advice

Avoid the protest due to possible skirmishes. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately. Allow additional travel time in the affected area, especially to and from AMD. Heed all official security and traffic advisories.
