QUESTIONS

The CJP protest was against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and called for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation. The party cited allegations of voter-list tampering and changes to Form 6.

No. Delhi Police denied permission, citing serious law-and-order concerns and possible inconvenience to residents. Police also said the communication submitted by the CJP was an intimation, not a formal application.

Entry and exit gates at 45 stations were ordered closed from 9 pm on October 9 until further notice. The restrictions did not shut down the entire Metro network, and interchange facilities remained available at affected stations except New Delhi Metro station.

More than 250 train services connecting New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin were reportedly cancelled. Traffic diversions were also possible at 30 locations, so commuters were advised to plan ahead and allow extra travel time.

Mobile internet services were set to be suspended within a 4-km radius of Jantar Mantar from 10 pm on October 9 until 10 pm on October 10. Internet services elsewhere in Delhi were expected to remain unaffected.

- In a statement, the CJP termed the detention a part of an "aggressive, citywide government crackdown designed to silence democratic dissent regarding electoral roll irregularities."
