Mobile Internet Suspended in Central Delhi for 24 Hours Ahead of CJP Protest

Mobile internet services across all technologies will be suspended within a four-kilometre radius of the Janpath–Kartavya Path crossing from 10 p.m. on October 9 until 10 p.m. on October 10, under an order approved by the Union Home Secretary. The restriction comes ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party’s planned protest at Jantar Mantar, calling for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over alleged electoral-roll irregularities. Authorities cited anticipated demonstrations in central Delhi. The suspension applies to mobile internet; reports did not specify any separate restriction on fixed-line broadband.
