India: Aam Aadmi Party plans to protest nationwide June 19
Aam Aadmi Party plans to stage protests across India on June 19. Increased security and transport disruptions likely.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) plans to hold nationwide protests across June 19 to denounce alleged irregularities during the recent National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) exam. The party has previously held a demonstration at the Jantar Mantar in New Delhi at 10:00 on June 18. Although protest organizers did not immediately provide further details about the planned actions, participants could gather at prominent government buildings, including the Ministry of Education, public squares, sports venues, and thoroughfares. The gatherings are likely to draw hundreds of participants.
Authorities will likely monitor gatherings and could use force to disperse unruly crowds. Clashes between police and activists, as well as between supporters of opposing political groups, cannot be ruled out. Transport disruptions are likely. Associated business disruptions are possible.
Avoid any protests as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Plan accordingly for potential localized transport and business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance.
