India: Political activists to hold rallies across Chhattisgarh State Nov. 3
Indian National Congress to stage rallies in all district and city headquarters of Chhattisgarh State, India, Nov. 3. Exercise caution.
The Indian National Congress (INC) party will stage rallies across Chhattisgarh State on Nov. 3. The purpose of the protests is to denounce a perceived decline in law and order in the state amid civil unrest related to the death of an individual in police custody. As part of their action, activists will gather in the state's district and city headquarters, which are the main administrative centers in each respective location. Well-attended gatherings will probably draw thousands of participants.
Authorities will likely monitor any such gatherings and could use force to disperse overly unruly crowds. Clashes between police and activists and between members of rival political camps cannot be ruled out. Associated localized business and transport disruptions are likely.
Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan accordingly for potential localized transport and business disruptions. Carry proper identification documents at all times. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
