India: Hindu group to protest nationwide June 12
Hindu group Bajrang Dal calls for protests across India June 12. Localized disruptions, clashes, and further demonstrations possible.
The Hindu group Bajrang Dal has called for protests across India June 12 to denounce a recent terrorist attack on a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims in Reasi District, Jammu and Kashmir. Related gatherings will most likely occur at district headquarters. Other possible gathering sites include public squares, government buildings, and major traffic intersections. States with significant Hindu populations, such as Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Karnataka in the central and northern parts of India, could experience the highest participation. Additional demonstrations by Hindu groups condemning the attack are possible in the coming days.
Security personnel will likely deploy to monitor well-attended events and may disperse disruptive gatherings. Clashes between police and protesters are possible. Protesters may march along or block roadways, causing localized transport disruptions.
Avoid related protests as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. 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.
