NEW DELHI: Delhi Police have stepped up security across the national capital ahead of the Monsoon session of Parliament and the Cockroach Janta Party’s proposed ‘Chalo Sansad’ march on Monday, deploying additional personnel, intensifying vehicle checks and strengthening barricading at key locations.Police sources mentioned that the CJP has not obtained permission for the proposed march. “We are determined not to allow any unauthorised march towards the high-security zone.”Security arrangements have been tightened across the New Delhi district, with preventive deployment set to remain in place throughout the Parliament session, police sources said on Sunday.Several entry points in the capital have been converted into high-security zones, with multi-layered barricades, enhanced surveillance, anti-sabotage checks and round-the-clock patrolling in New Delhi, Central Delhi and parts of North Delhi.A senior police source said elaborate measures have been put in place to maintain law and order during the session.“Every vehicle entering the New Delhi district is being thoroughly checked. Additional pickets have been set up at strategic locations, and reserve forces have been kept on standby. CCTV surveillance has also been intensified across sensitive areas,” the source said.Security has also been enhanced around Jantar Mantar, Parliament Street, Central Vista, Connaught Place, Shankar Chowk and other key installations, while rapid response teams have been deployed to tackle any contingency.The heightened security comes amid fresh developments at Jantar Mantar, where CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke continued his indefinite hunger strike after activist Sonam Wangchuk was shifted to Safdarjung Hospital on Saturday following a deterioration in his health.From the hospital, Wangchuk issued a message urging his supporters to participate in the proposed ‘Chalo Sansad’ march on July 20.(With PTI inputs)
