India deploys police and restricts transport ahead of mass protest in Delhi

Authorities in India have deployed police and restricted transport in Delhi ahead of a mass protest. Organisers are demanding that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar resign.

Police have been deployed and transport has been restricted in Delhi, India's capital, ahead of a planned mass protest, according to Al Jazeera.

The protest is organised by a political group called the Cockroach Janta Party. It wants Gyanesh Kumar, India's Chief Election Commissioner, who heads the country's election authority, to step down. The group's grievance concerns changes made to voter lists.

The information available in the source is very limited. It does not state the exact time and place of the protest, the expected turnout, the specific measures taken by police and transport authorities, or the nature of the changes to the voter lists. These details have not been confirmed.
