UK: Sikh groups plan commemorative march in central London, June 16
Sikh groups plan commemorative march in central London, UK, from 11:00 June 16. Increased security, localized disruptions likely.
The Sikh Federation UK plans to rally and march in central London, June 16. The event will commemorate the deaths of around 400 people in Amritsar, India, in 1984. Attendees will gather at Wellington Arch from 11:00 and then march from 13:00 to Trafalgar Square. Attendees will likely travel from across the UK to the event; it is possible that several thousand people may take part.
Police will likely deploy additional resources to monitor the gathering, and will likely close roads around the march route. Security measures may prompt localized transport disruptions.
As a standard precaution, avoid the protest to mitigate disruptions. Allow additional time if traveling in central London on June 16. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement personnel.
