00:00Our top focus is the National Capital viewers.
00:02The capital of the country has been completely fortified, complete shut down,
00:07where it comes to looking ahead to the protest of Kokoro Janata Party.
00:14This comes in after the Janata Mantra protest,
00:16where the CJP had managed to get in the resignation of the education minister.
00:22How has Delhi been fortified in what we've been given to understand?
00:2620,000 police personnel on ground. Over 52 metro stations have all been shut down.
00:33Take a look.
00:48On July 20th, Delhi witnessed clashes.
00:54Tear gas and a police crackdown during the CJP protest,
00:58demanding resignation of then-Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
01:04The National Capital braces for round two on Saturday.
01:09This time, the target is Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
01:13The CJP is set to hit the streets, demanding his resignation.
01:19But Delhi Police has denied permission.
01:22In New Delhi area, 163 BNSS is in operation,
01:27and under which, to maintain public order and safety,
01:32reasonable preventive restriction is at place.
01:36It is further important to mention that,
01:38if anybody violates the 163 BNSS provisions,
01:42then proper legal action will be taken against them.
01:48And the capital is gearing up for a massive security clampdown.
01:58Over 20,000 police and paramilitary personnel deployed.
02:0215 dedicated detention centres set up.
02:06500 additional women personnel deployed.
02:10BSF deployed at the Delhi-Noida border.

02:26and Hazrat Nizamuddin stations between 4 a.m. and 2 p.m. tomorrow cancelled.
02:32Restrictions on app-based caps.
02:34Hotels asked to stop fresh bookings.
02:37Internet curbs in parts of central Delhi also being considered.
02:42The sweeping curbs have now come under the Supreme Court's scrutiny.
02:47Supreme Court refused to blanket metro shutdown,
02:51asking authorities to regulate movement, not halt services entirely.
02:56The Apex Court called for minimum inconvenience to commuters,
03:00stressing on proportionality in imposing restrictions.
03:06The CGP has hit back, accusing the government of fearing its own citizens
03:10and waging war against them.
03:14Its leaders insist the protest will go ahead despite the denial of permission.
03:43In trying to contain CGP protests 2.0,
03:47the capital is bracing for a day of sweeping restrictions
03:50with commuters and ordinary residents caught in the disruption.
03:54But the scale of the security deployment raises a bigger question.
03:58Is the government merely trying to avoid a repeat of July 20th
04:02or is the prospect of another mass mobilization rattling the establishment?
