Political activists to protest at district headquarters in Kerala State, India, 16:00 Oct. 11. Increased security likely; clashes possible.
Activists affiliated with the United Democratic Youth Front (UDYF) will stage protests across Kerala from 16:00 on Oct. 11 to demand the resignation of the state's chief minister, among other things. Participants will gather in various district headquarters, which are designated towns or cities within each district where public offices and services are situated.
While organizers did not immediately reveal further details, other potential gathering sites include political party offices, 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.
