India: Congress Party calls for protests at Income Tax offices across Tamil Nadu Feb. 19
Congress Party calls for protests at Income Tax offices across Tamil Nadu, India, from 11:00 Feb. 19. Heightened security likely.
The Tamil Nadu Congress Committee has called for protests outside offices of the Income Tax Department across Tamil Nadu Feb. 19 to protest the freezing of All India Congress and Youth Congress bank accounts. Demonstrations will begin from 11:00, and dozens to a few hundred participants are likely at each gathering. The largest demonstrations will probably be in major urban centers.
Heightened security and localized business and transport disruptions are likely near protest venues. While the gatherings will probably pass peacefully, clashes with police remain possible, especially if activists attempt to breach any security cordons.
Avoid the protests as a precaution. Seek alternative routes to circumvent demonstration sites and allow additional time to reach destinations. Heed official instructions.
