India Deploys Over 20,000 Security Personnel in Delhi Ahead of Protest

New Delhi. More than 20,000 police and paramilitary security personnel have been deployed in India's capital, New Delhi, for a demonstration scheduled for Saturday, alleging irregularities in the voter list and demanding the removal of the Chief Election Commissioner.

Protests have intensified this month after the Election Commission of India advanced the voter list's 'special intensive review' process. The commission stated that the process is being conducted to remove duplicate names and ineligible voters.
