India: Bharatiya Janata Party to protest at all district headquarters in Karnataka State Nov. 21-22
BJP protests to occur at district headquarters across Karnataka State, India, Nov. 21-22. Increased security, disruptions likely.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) plans to hold protests at all district headquarters across the Karnataka State from Nov. 21-22. The action is to denounce the state's handling of Waqf land acquisitions that has allegedly threatened local farmers. Party officials have also announced a protest at the Freedom Park in Bengaluru on Nov. 22. Although the exact timing of these events remains unclear, demonstrations typically occur from late morning to early afternoon. Participation will vary by location, with major urban centers like Bengaluru and Mysuru possibly having thousands of protestors.
Authorities will likely monitor any potential gatherings. Clashes between protesters and police, as well as from rival parties, cannot be ruled out. Demonstrators could march along or block roadways, prompting further localized transport disruptions. Associated localized business disruptions are possible.
Avoid any demonstrations that materialize. Monitor trusted local media for protest details, as organizers may not announce them in advance. Allow additional travel time near any protest sites. Plan accordingly for possible localized business disruptions. Leave the area at the first sign of any security disturbances. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
