India: Activists to protest outside Police Bhavan in Gandhinagar, Gujarat State, Oct. 23
Protest to occur near police facility in Gandhinagar, Gujarat State, India, Oct. 23. Tight security likely; transport disruptions possible.
The Indian National Congress (INC) and other groups representing backward communities will protest outside the Police Bhavan office in Gandhinagar, Gujarat State, Oct. 23. The start time is unclear; participants will likely gather from late morning through the evening. Organizers claim over 500 people will demonstrate to demand action against the Additional Director General of Police for the alleged ill-treatment of INC leader Jignesh Mevani during a recent meeting.
Security personnel will almost certainly deploy to the site and attempt to prevent or disperse the gathering. Scuffles between protesters and security forces are possible. Localized transport disruptions may occur due to protester roadblocks or security-related traffic restrictions.
The protest venue is approximately 22 km (13.7 miles) northeast of Ahmedabad.
Avoid the protest due to possible scuffles. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately. Allow additional travel time in the affected area. Heed all official security and traffic advisories.
