The CJP's proposed 'Chalo Sansad' march, led by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and supported by climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, began on Monday amid heavy security arrangements in the national capital. Thousands of protesters gathered at Jantar Mantar despite heavy rain and the absence of official permission for the march towards Parliament.
As the protest gained momentum, security was tightened across central Delhi. Additional police personnel, Rapid Action Force (RAF) teams, barricades, and traffic restrictions were deployed around Jantar Mantar and nearby areas to maintain law and order.
During the march, several social media posts and media reports alleged that protesters were subjected to police action. However, Delhi Police denied the allegations of violence, stating that the situation was being handled professionally and that adequate security measures had been put in place to ensure public safety. Some media reports claimed that police used limited force to prevent protesters from moving towards Parliament, while the police maintained that necessary action was taken to manage the crowd.
According to Delhi Police, around 8,000 protesters assembled at Jantar Mantar ahead of the proposed Parliament march. Protest organizers urged participants to maintain peace while demanding accountability over alleged examination irregularities, including the NEET paper leak, student welfare concerns, and broader reforms in the country's education system.
Security arrangements affected traffic movement across several parts of central Delhi. Some metro station gates, including Patel Chowk, Janpath, and Rajiv Chowk, were temporarily closed before normal services resumed. Delhi Traffic Police also advised commuters to avoid key routes near Parliament due to barricading and rolling traffic restrictions.
Activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has extended support to the ongoing movement through his hunger strike, reiterated his demands for greater accountability and reforms in the education system. Protest organizers said the movement would continue peacefully while pressing the government to address the concerns raised by students and activists.
The CJP Parliament March continues under heightened security, with protesters raising issues related to examination irregularities, student welfare, and education reforms. Authorities have appealed for peace and advised commuters to follow traffic advisories as the situation develops. Security personnel remain deployed across the protest site, and further official updates are awaited.
