Delhi tense as CJP ‘Chalo Sansad’ protest sparks clashes with police near Parliament

Heavy clashes broke out in central Delhi on Monday after protesters participating in the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) ‘Chalo Sansad’ march attempted to reach Parliament during the opening day of the Monsoon Session. According to reports, demonstrators breached police barricades near Jantar Mantar and marched toward the high-security Parliament zone, leading to a confrontation with security personnel. As the situation escalated, police used tear gas shells, carried out lathi charges and deployed anti-riot vehicles to disperse the crowd and prevent protesters from advancing further.

The protest triggered widespread chaos across the national capital, with repeated clashes reported between demonstrators and police. Several protesters and security personnel sustained minor injuries during the scuffles. Authorities had put extensive security arrangements in place around Parliament in anticipation of the march, but the attempts to cross multiple barricades resulted in a major law-and-order situation. Traffic movement in several parts of central Delhi was affected, while security remained on high alert throughout the protest.

Police continued efforts to restore normalcy by dispersing the protesters and securing the Parliament area. The demonstration coincided with the first day of the Monsoon Session, making security a top priority for authorities. Officials are closely monitoring the situation, and additional security personnel have been deployed to prevent further unrest. Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
