Roadway employees to surround transport minister's residence in Ambala, India, July 14 as an act of protest. Increased security likely.
Unionized roadway employees will surround (gherao) the transport minister's residence in Ambala, Haryana State, on July 14 as an act of protest. The action aims to denounce the issuance of permits to private buses and demand the government's withdrawal of these permits. Anticipated participation levels remained immediately unclear.
Related demonstrations of varying types, including marches, could occur at other locations on the same day. Potential gathering sites include other government buildings, public squares, and thoroughfares. Such gatherings will probably draw hundreds of participants.
Authorities will likely monitor any such rallies and may move to disperse overly disruptive crowds. Clashes between police and activists and between supporters of opposing groups cannot be ruled out. Associated localized transport and business disruptions are likely.
As a precaution, avoid any demonstrations that materializes. 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.
