The CJP announced late on Friday that the protest would begin at 10 am on October 19, despite Delhi Police denying permission for the demonstration. The government has imposed restrictions in Delhi in view of the protest, including the cancellation of trains to the national capital on October 10, shutting down of metro stations and the suspension of internet services within a 4-km radius of the protest site.
