- CJP called a protest at Jantar Mantar over alleged large-scale exclusions during the Special Intensive Revision of voter lists.
- Demonstrators demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
- Delhi Police enforced multi-layer barricades, drone surveillance, and body cameras across Central Delhi.
- Police detained protesters including members of a left student wing attempting to march toward the BJP headquarters.
- Security forces including RAF, CAPF, and the all-women Pink Force were deployed along routes including Janpath Road to foil the protest.
Why it matters: Paramilitary forces and an all-women unit deployed alongside drone surveillance to block a protest demanding the CEC's resignation over voter list integrity — a multi-agency security posture that frames a civil society demonstration as a public-order threat requiring paramilitary containment.
