India: Bharatiya Janata Party to hold rally at Muzaffarpur Airport public ground Nov. 5
Bharatiya Janata Party to rally at Muzaffarpur Airport public ground, India, Nov. 5. Increased security; minor flight disruptions likely.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will rally at Muzaffarpur Airport (MZU) public ground in the Patahi area on Nov. 5 to mobilize grassroots-level support. Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah will address the gathering. The event start time remained immediately unclear. The rally will probably draw thousands of participants. Related counterdemonstrations are possible at short notice.
Authorities will almost certainly monitor the rally and may move to disperse overly disruptive crowds. Clashes between police and activists, as well as between members of rival political groups, cannot be ruled out. Demonstrators may march along or block roadways, prompting localized transport disruptions.
Avoid the demonstration as a precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near the gathering site. Confirm flight reservations due to potential minor delays if traveling via MZU on Nov. 5. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
