- The exact route of the march remains undisclosed as of writing.

Assessments & Forecast:
- Turnout is likely to range between the mid-to-high dozens, given the social media traction of the issue and the mobilizing capabilities of the groups. Anticipating this, the authorities are liable to heighten security in the vicinity of aforementioned locations and along the march route, particularly outside LG House given the location’s sensitivity. These measures are likely to include the deployment of police personnel and the placement of barricades to monitor the proceedings.
- There remains a latent risk of scuffles between the police and the protesters, should the latter be perceived as engaging in disruptive activities such as blocking major roads, breaching security protocols, or engaging in acts of vandalism. In such cases, the authorities are expected to employ forcible dispersal measures through temporary detention or baton charge. Localized disruptions to vehicular travel are anticipated in the vicinity of aforementioned locations due to the expected turnout and associated security measures on September 23.
Recommendations:
Those operating or residing in Delhi on September 23 are advised to maintain vigilance in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations and along the route due to the slated protest march and associated risk of scuffles, while allotting for travel disruptions.
