Bharatiya Janata Party to rally at ITI Ground in Mahabubnagar District, India, 12:00 Oct. 1. Prime Minister Modi to address gathering.
Event
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will rally at Mahabubnagar District's ITI Ground 12:00 Oct. 1 during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Telangana State. The prime minister will address the public gathering. If well-attended, the event could attract hundreds of thousands of participants. BJP leaders could cancel the planned rally at short notice due to organizational or security-related concerns.
Authorities will almost certainly maintain an increased security presence near the rally site and may move to disperse overly disruptive crowds. Isolated skirmishes between police and activists, as well as between members of opposing rival camps, cannot be ruled out. Localized transport disruptions are likely. Associated localized business disruptions are possible.
Advice
Avoid the rally as a standard precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near the gathering site. Plan accordingly for possible localized business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
