Connaught Place Wears Deserted Look Ahead of CJP Tiranga March
· India · Indian Express, India Today
Connaught Place in New Delhi remains largely deserted on Friday as security forces and barricades occupy the market ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) 5 pm Tiranga March. Rapid Action Force personnel and Delhi Police officers are stationed near Central Park, while Central Industrial Security Force personnel conduct rounds in the inner circle. Local shopkeepers report a lack of customers, with some businesses remaining shut due to concerns over potential disruptions. Business owners note that the current protest activity is impacting trade during a critical period for winter and festival-related sales. Vehicular movement remains permitted for now, though many expect traffic to halt as the march approaches.
Why it matters
The protest has effectively halted commercial activity in a major retail hub, causing significant daily revenue losses for shopkeepers during a peak shopping season.
