India: Activists to protest in Madhya Pradesh State Sept. 20

Indian National Congress party to hold rallies in district headquarters across Madhya Pradesh State, India, Sept. 20. Exercise caution.

Warning

The Indian National Congress (INC) party will hold rallies in Madhya Pradesh State on Sept. 20 to address perceived grievances of farmers, including issues related to prices for wheat and paddy. As part of their action, activists will gather in various district headquarters, which are designated towns or cities within each district where administrative offices and services are situated.

While organizers did not immediately reveal additional details, potential gathering sites include political party offices, government buildings, public squares, and thoroughfares. Well-attended gatherings could draw thousands of participants.

Authorities will likely monitor any such rallies and may move to disperse overly disruptive crowds. Depending on operational needs, officials could implement enhanced restrictions, including road blockades. Clashes between police and activists and between members of opposing groups cannot be ruled out. Associated localized transport and business disruptions are possible.

As a precaution, avoid any demonstration that materializes. 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.
