CJP Protest | New Delhi, Oct. 9: Mobile internet services have been suspended for 24 hours in parts of central Delhi ahead of a protest organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
The restrictions began at 10 pm on Friday, October 9, and are scheduled to continue until 10 pm on Saturday, October 10. The suspension covers an area within a four kilometre radius of the Janpath and Kartavya Path crossing.
Delhi Police said permission for the proposed demonstration was denied because organisers allegedly failed to comply with legal directions and undertakings given during an earlier protest.
