New Delhi Protest News: Delhi Police have deployed their all-women “Pink Force” and over 35,000 security personnel across New Delhi today, October 10, 2026, turning the national capital into a fortress to counter an unsanctioned “Jantar Mantar 2.0” protest led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). The demonstration is demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the rollback of the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
The security apparatus has responded with unprecedented restrictions. Authorities have shuttered 57 Delhi Metro station gates, cancelled dozens of incoming trains, implemented internet curbs in parts of the city, and set up multi-layered barricades to block key routes.
