Nearly 10,000 police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed across central Delhi ahead of the INDIA bloc’s protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Sunday. The Opposition plans to march from near Connaught Place to Ramlila Maidan, alleging irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The parties expect around 10 lakh participants, while police have planned for a crowd of nearly 50,000. Around 250 CCTV cameras, drones and barricades have been arranged for security. Traffic restrictions will remain in place from 10 am to 5 pm. The BJP has criticised the protest, calling it an attack on democratic institutions. (PC: HT)
