Teargas Fired at CJP Protesters in Delhi
On Monday, some people were protesting and trying to go to a place called Jantar Mantar to join a big march to the Parliament.
The police and other security people were there to keep order.
When the protesters tried to push through the barriers, the security forces used tear gas to stop them.
This made some people who were traveling get stuck in nearby metro stations because the stations were closed as a safety measure.
There were many police and other security people around to make sure nothing bad happened.
The police set up many barriers and had extra security to stop anyone from breaking the rules.
Security forces used tear gas near Shastri Bhawan to stop protesters from reaching Jantar Mantar.
Protesters were attempting to join the Cockroach Janta Party's march to Parliament.
Commuters were stranded in nearby metro stations due to restricted access and closed gates.
Heavy deployment of police and paramilitary personnel was maintained across central Delhi.
The action came amid heightened tensions in the high-security zone.
Additional companies of paramilitary forces and police personnel were deployed from adjoining districts.
