Electricity workers plan to protest across Himachal Pradesh State, India, Oct. 28. Localized disruptions possible.
Workers affiliated with the Joint Front of Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board plan to demonstrate across Himachal Pradesh State Oct. 28 to call for the immediate restoration of abolished posts, among other demands. While organizers did not immediately reveal additional details, potential gathering sites include Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board offices, government buildings, public squares, and thoroughfares. Participation may vary by location; events in major urban centers like Shimla and Dharamshala may draw a few hundred people.
Authorities will likely monitor any demonstration and may move to disperse overly disruptive crowds. The gathering will likely be peaceful, but minor clashes between police and protesters are possible. Localized transport disruptions may occur, especially if demonstrators march along or block roadways.
As a standard precaution, avoid any demonstration 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 instructions from authorities.
