Security Tightened in Delhi as CJP March Draws Thousands Over NEET Irregularities
By TrendingWire Newsroom
Authorities have imposed Section 163 and tightened security in Delhi ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament. The measures come as the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) called for a march to protest alleged irregularities in the NEET exam and demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Thousands of protesters gathered at the designated protest site at Jantar Mantar, which overflowed with an unprecedented crowd. The protest follows activist Sonam Wangchuk's forced hospitalisation, which added to the momentum. The CJP march is expected to proceed towards Parliament.
Police are maintaining a heavy presence in the capital to prevent any untoward incidents. The Monsoon Session is set to begin amid heightened political tensions over the issue. The CJP has vowed to continue its agitation until their demands are met.
