PM Modi plans to hold a rally at Japanese Park, New Delhi, India, Dec. 29. Increased security, transport disruptions likely.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi plans to hold a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rally at the Japanese Park in New Delhi on Dec. 29 ahead of the Delhi Legislative Assembly election. Although the exact timing of the event remains unclear, rallies typically occur between late morning and early afternoon. Participation will likely be in the low thousands.
Additionally, related demonstrations and counterdemonstrations may materialize in and around New Delhi. Potential venues include public squares, stadiums, major thoroughfares, and outside government buildings. Authorities will likely deploy a heightened security presence to the sites of any demonstrations that occur. Clashes between police and activists, as well as between members of rival political camps, cannot be ruled out. Transport disruptions are likely in areas that are affected by demonstrations and heightened security. Associated business disruptions are also possible.
Avoid the planned rally and any other demonstrations that materialize as a standard precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan accordingly for transport and business disruptions. Carry proper identification documents at all times. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
