India: Protests possible in Tamil Nadu State into late November
Protests denouncing alleged stabbing of teacher possible in Tamil Nadu, India, into late November. Increased security likely.
Activists may stage sporadic demonstrations in parts of Tamil Nadu state into late November following the alleged recent stabbing of a teacher at a public school in Thanjavur District. Although there were no immediate announcements for such gatherings as of Nov. 21, related demonstrations are possible over the coming days.
Potential rally sites include educational facilities, government buildings, public squares, and major thoroughfares. Participation will likely vary by location and sponsoring entity. Well-attended gatherings could attract thousands of participants, especially in Thanjavur.
Authorities will likely monitor any such gatherings as a precaution. Depending on operational needs, officials could impose security restrictions. Clashes between police and activists cannot be ruled out, and disruptions to local businesses and transportation services are likely.
As a precaution, avoid any demonstration that materializes. Keep away from locations where security personnel appear to be deploying, and leave the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near gathering sites. Plan accordingly for potential localized business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
