India: Protest to take place at Freedom Park in Bengaluru, Karnataka State, from 10:30 Feb. 1
Unorganized sector workers to rally at Freedom Park, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, 10:30 Feb. 1. Tight security likely; disruptions possible.
Workers from unorganized sectors will gather at Freedom Park in Bengaluru, Karnataka State, from 10:30 Feb. 1. Participants demand that the state government determine minimum wages and regulate working hours during an upcoming legislative session. Organizers claim 30,000 people will join the event.
A heightened security presence is likely around the protest site. Localized transport disruptions are possible, mainly if demonstrators occupy or march on nearby roads. Attendees may use public transport to arrive at and leave the venue, heightening demand for such services. Minor scuffles may occur between protesters and police, especially if activists breach security cordons or defy orders to disperse.
Avoid the protest as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Plan for possible localized transport disruptions. Leave an area at the first sign of unrest. Heed all official traffic and security advisories.
