India: Activists to surround State Legislative Assembly building in Jaipur, Rajasthan State, July 5
Activists to surround State Legislative Assembly building in Jaipur, India, July 5. Increased security likely.
Event
The women's wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party will surround (gherao) the State Legislative Assembly building (Vidhan Sabha) July 5 to denounce the state government's existing policies. The gathering could draw hundreds of participants.
Authorities will likely monitor the rally and may move to disperse overly disruptive crowds. Although the event will probably pass off peacefully, isolated minor skirmishes between police and activists cannot be ruled out. Demonstrators may march along nearby roadways, prompting localized transport disruptions.
Advice
Avoid the demonstration as a precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near the gathering site. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
