• The Delhi unit of the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) is scheduled to stage a demonstration outside the Lieutenant Governor’s residence in New Delhi at 13:30 (local time) on September 29.
• The protest seeks to press for the revocation of the suspension orders issued against students of Dr B.R. Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD), which were imposed in connection with an April protest concerning an alleged suicide attempt by a first-year student reportedly linked to ragging.

The anticipated turnout for the planned protest is projected to range in the mid-to-high dozens, reflecting both the mobilization capabilities of the organizing group and the current salience of the issue among AUD students. Given the sensitivity of the protest at the LG’s residence, the authorities are likely to enhance security measures through the deployment of additional police personnel and the installation of barricades to restrict access to the premises. Consequently, there remains a latent risk of confrontations between protesters and security forces, particularly if participants engage in disruptive activities like forcibly attempting to enter LG’s residence. Furthermore, localized disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the vicinity are expected during the demonstration on September 29.

Those operating or residing in Delhi on September 29 are advised to maintain vigilance in the vicinity of the LG’s residence due to the slated protest, while alloting for travel disruptions.
