India: Increased security likely around Parliament area of New Delhi on Dec. 5
Authorities will likely impose increased security around Parliament area of New Delhi, India, following the arrest of protestors on Dec. 5.
Authorities will likely maintain increased security around the Parliament area of New Delhi on Dec. 5 following the police arrest of several members of the National Students' Union of India (NSUI). The NSUI was marching from Jantar Mantar to Parliament to raise awareness of youth unemployment and scholarship issues. Delhi Police claim they had no permits to hold the march, leading to them dispersing the crowd and detaining the leaders.
Officials will likely maintain security personnel in the area to ensure no further demonstrations occur and disperse any crowds that form. Localized transport disruptions are likely in the area, especially if police impose roadblocks or vehicular inspections. Associated business disruptions are possible.
Exercise caution if operating in or near the impacted area. 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.
