India: All India Trinamool Congress to hold rally at Kolkata's Brigade Parade Ground March 10
All India Trinamool Congress to rally at Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata, India, March 10. Disruptions likely.
The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) will hold a rally at Kolkata's Brigade Parade Ground on March 10. The purpose of the action is to mobilize grassroots-level support and address several perceived political concerns, such as the alleged halt of funds for crucial infrastructure projects. The event start time remained immediately unclear. The gathering could draw very large crowds of participants.
Authorities will almost certainly monitor the gathering and could use force to disperse the event if the crowd becomes especially unruly. Officials could implement enhanced security restrictions, such as vehicular checks. Clashes between police and activists, as well as between supporters of opposing rival camps, cannot be ruled out. Demonstrators will probably march along or block nearby roadways, causing localized transport disruptions. Associated localized business disruptions are likely.
Avoid the demonstration due to possible violence. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan accordingly for potential localized transport and business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
