India: Opposition party to hold rally to Raj Bhavan in Dehradun, Uttarakhand State, Dec. 18
Opposition rally planned toward Raj Bhavan in Dehradun, Uttarakhand State, India, 10:30 Dec. 18. Increased security likely.
Activists from the state opposition Indian National Congress (INC) plan to march from the INC state office to Raj Bhavan in Dehradun, Uttarakhand State, from 10:30 Dec. 18. Organizers are protesting against allegedly corrupt ties between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and businessman Gautam Adani. The rally route is unclear. If well attended, dozens to a few hundred people could participate in the gathering.
Authorities will likely monitor the rally and may move to disperse overly disruptive crowds. Clashes between police and activists are possible, especially if attendees attempt to breach security cordons. Localized transport disruptions are probable along roadways leading to the rally site.
Avoid the demonstration as a precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near the gathering site. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
