Delhi traffic police have imposed diversions from 6 a.m. around key central intersections as the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests for the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The curbs matter because they disrupt daily commutes and show how authorities manage large-scale demonstrations.
Qu'est-ce qui s'est passé le deuxième jour de la manifestation
The Delhi Traffic Police advisory said diversions started at 6 a.m.
La circulation routière a été affectée autour de Jantar Mantar, de la Place Connaught, du Palais Mandi, des rues Patel Chowk et d'autres intersections dans l'Inde de Lutyens.
Les personnels de sécurité ont installé des barrières à la Circule Extérieur de la Place du Capitole.
These barricades restricted both vehicular and pedestrian flow.
Autres raccordages affectés comprenaient le rond-point de l'Asoka-Road-Jantar Mantar Road.
Les ponts de Tolstoy, Marg-Janpath et Jai Singh Road-Sansad Marg ont également été impactés.
Rail Bhawan roundabout, Patel Chowk and Gol Dak Khana saw traffic redirected.
Pour les commerçants et citoyens
- Commuteurs de jour partant vers les gares, les terminaux ferroviaires et l'aéroport

- étudiants et activistes planifient des manifestations pacifiques

The restrictions add travel time, force people to seek alternative routes, and increase congestion on peripheral roads.
For example, a worker heading to a Connaught Place office may need to use a longer path via the Lodhi Road flyover, adding minutes to the journey.
Students from the Students' Federation of India have said they will hold peaceful demonstrations.
This means the barricaded zones could become focal points for protest activity.

Prominent student groups, including the Students' Federation of India, pledged to continue protests until the demand is met.
At a press conference on October 10, 2026, CJP leader Ajinkya Shinde stated marches would be held daily until Mr. Kumar was removed.
Mr. Shinde also alleged that protesters, including Abhijeet Dipke, faced inhumane treatment during detention.
In response, Delhi police placed CJP leaders Mr. Dipke, Mr. Ranka and Mr. Das under preventive arrest.
They are scheduled to appear before the Executive Magistrate at Delhi Cantt. Police Station on October 11, 2026.

This clampdown aims to manage crowd movement and protect critical infrastructure.
It also ensures protest routes do not block essential services.
Que se passe-t-il ensuite ? Que regarder ?
- Real-time assessments by traffic police may lead to further regulation or relaxation of restrictions.
- Updates will be posted on the Delhi Traffic Police website and its social media platforms.
- Commuters are advised to avoid non-essential travel and allow extra time for journeys to railway stations, bus terminals and the airport.
- Any escalation in the protest could trigger additional barricades or wider diversions across central Delhi.
- Courts may hear the preventive arrests of CJP leaders, influencing future police actions and possibly affecting the duration of traffic controls.
