Indian National Congress to hold protests across Chhattisgarh State, India, July 8. Increased security, transport disruptions likely.
The Indian National Congress (INC) plans to hold protests across district block headquarters in Chhattisgarh State on July 8 to denounce the alleged continuous power cuts and increased electricity prices. As of July 5, no information has been released on the timings of the events. Participation will vary by locale, with urban centers like Raipur attracting thousands of participants.
Additional demonstrations will likely occur near government buildings, public venues, and sports centers. Authorities will almost certainly monitor such 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. Localized transport disruptions are likely. Associated business disruptions are possible
Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. 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.
