India: Youth activists plan to rally at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi from 10:00 June 27
Youth activists to protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, India, from 10:00 June 27. Tight security likely, localized disruptions possible.
Members of the Indian Youth Congress, the opposition Indian National Congress (INC) party's youth wing, plan to protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi from 10:00 June 27. The action is to denounce alleged irregularities in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for medical admissions. Participants could march to the nearby Parliament building during the demonstration. The action may draw hundreds to a few thousand attendees.
Authorities will likely maintain an increased security presence near the gathering site. Security personnel could use force or conduct mass arrests if activists refuse to comply with official orders. Clashes between police and protesters are possible. Demonstrators could march along or block roadways, including Sansad Marg Street and Tolstoy Road, prompting localized transport disruptions. Associated localized business disruptions are likely.
Avoid the demonstration as a precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near gathering sites. Plan accordingly for possible localized business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
