Delhi Police Expands Intelligence Preparations Ahead Of CJP Protest

The Cockroach Janta Party plans to hold a peaceful protest march in New Delhi on September 5.

Delhi Police wants to learn more about the people and groups expected to attend.

Officers will study how protesters are travelling and who is organising them.

They will also look at the protest’s demands and arrangements for transport and accommodation.

Police say this information will help them prepare for the crowd.

They say the goal is not to stop peaceful protests.

Instead, they want to protect protesters and other members of the public.

The plan follows concerns about whether earlier information about a large July 20 gathering was complete and accurate.
