Event

Activists affiliated with the Muslim National Forum plan to march in Delhi Oct. 1. Protesters are urging India to reclaim Azad Jammu and Kashmir, which Pakistan currently administers. Organizers announced that the march would start at the Red Fort and head to Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib before returning to the Red Fort. The start time of the action is unclear.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the affected area Oct. 1. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.
