New Delhi, Oct. 16 -- Delhi Police will deploy more than 6,000 personnel in and around Connaught Place and central Delhi on Friday, ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) proposed "Lehra Do Tiranga" protest, even as officials said that a "select few people" could be allowed to conduct a march at a "suitable place". The local police deployment will be in addition to around 26,000 personnel of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) stationed in the Capital over the past week following the CJP's call for protests demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. Together, around 32,000 security personnel are expected to be deployed across central Delhi on Friday, according to people familiar with the matter. During the October 10 protest, Delhi Police had deployed around 5,000 personnel in the New Delhi district, which includes Connaught Place, Rajiv Chowk, Central Park, nearby metro stations, Jantar Mantar and Palika Bazaar. The sweeping security arrangements come after CJP convenor Abhijeet Dipke announced the flag march following the arrest of co-convenors Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka on Tuesday morning. Both were sent to five days of judicial custody. The march, scheduled for 5pm on October 16, is expected to be joined by Dipke, student organisations, activists and the AAP. Neha Yadav, deputy commissioner of police and public relations officer, said police had not granted permission for a large march and had imposed prohibitory restrictions under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) in Connaught Place and surrounding areas. "Given the current security situation, a prohibitory order under Section 163 of the BNSS is already in effect in Connaught Place and surrounding areas. NDMC has informed the Delhi Police that Central Park will remain closed on October 16 and 17," she added. Yadav said the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) had also sought security arrangements to prevent unauthorised entry into the park. Trade and market associations in and around Connaught Place had submitted written requests for protection of their shops and establishments, she said. "Various trade and market associations in and around CP have given us in writing, seeking protection for their shops and establishments," Yadav said, adding that the associations. "We appeal to everyone not to join any such gathering which violates the BNSS guideline or affects peace," she said....
