00:00Going back to Anmol Bali at this point, there are, of course, fast-paced developments coming in from different parts
00:06of central Delhi.
00:08Anmol, you were showing us the heavy presence of paramilitary forces at Cannot Place even now.
00:14Now, they have been present since morning.
00:16Has the situation differed even a little since we were seeing tensions brew since morning?
00:23Because several have been detained. Is it the same now?
00:32Since morning, Shia, we are seeing that since 7 a.m., heavy deployment of paramilitary forces here at the Cannot
00:37Place.
00:37And not only in the morning, since the last night, we are seeing that all the shops around the Cannot
00:42Place have been closed.
00:43Internet has been shut by the authorities to control and pacify the situation.
00:47But due to the streets and the inner circle where many of the protesters hide,
00:52we are seeing that after a few minutes, they again gather and they try to come towards the outer circle
00:57from the inner circle,
00:58from the inner streets of the Cannot Place.
01:00They start sloganing against Ganesh Kumar and the BJP government.
01:03And then they try to head towards the Jantar Mantar via Janpat, Regal Cinema and other entry-in-exit points
01:10of the Cannot Place.
01:11And we have seen that administration has deployed large number of paramilitary forces as well as Delhi police personals to
01:19control them.
01:19But clearly, in the visuals, you can see that a few minutes ago, we have seen that sloganing took place
01:24here.
01:25A crowd was seen here where they were kind of sloganing against the BJP government and Ganesh Kumar.
01:31But later, heavy deployment of paramilitary as well as Delhi police was done here with the women personals also came
01:38here to detain the protesters.
01:39Because from this street, I'll show you in the visuals that from here, many of the protesters come towards the
01:46N block and towards the F block.
01:48And they try to march towards the Janpat, which goes towards the Jantar Mantar, which is just a few kilometers
01:54away from the Jantar Mantar,
01:56where they have given calls a few minutes ago.
01:58We have seen that large gathering of people here, those who are masked.
02:02And they were sloganing against the BJP government and CEC Ganesh Kumar and then police action initiated here,
02:08where they have detained many of the protesters, and many of the protesters ran towards the opposite direction.
02:14Shia.
02:15Absolutely.
02:16And Anmol, a lot of these forces that have been deployed in central Delhi,
02:21so several of these entry points, in fact, all of the entry points to central Delhi have completely shut down.
02:28Now, one question remains, if all of these entry points have been shut down since morning,
02:33how is it that these groups of people reached these very areas to protest as well?
02:39Because, you know, police is clearing places out and we see more of such protesters making their way,
02:46be it in smaller groups, but they are nonetheless making their way.
02:49How is it that they are getting entry into these very locations in the first place?
02:59Shia, today in the morning I spoke with various of the protesters.
03:03They were students, those who have come to the Knot place to march towards the Jantar Mantra,
03:08because today we have seen that the Kaukrat Janta Party has given a call at 10 a.m. to gather
03:12at the Jantar Mantra,
03:13but on the other hand, heavy deployment of paramilitary forces and Delhi police was done to stop them.
03:17And the students with whom I spoke came from the Badarpur and I asked them how you have reached here,
03:22because 45 metro stations have been closed, roads, entry and exit points towards the Knot place,
03:26and the Jantar Mantra all are closed.
03:28So they clearly told me that they came from the Badarpur via buses and from there they walked towards the
03:33CP.
03:34So this is how many of the protesters, those who are in the central Delhi, in the Knot place,
03:39are reaching to these points to march towards the Jantar Mantra.
03:42They are kind of coming to the outer sections of the central Delhi,
03:46and then from there they walk around 3 to 4 kilometers to reach the CP and Janpath Road to reach
03:53Jantar Mantra.
03:54But on the other hand, we are also seeing that heavy barricading by the Delhi police,
03:58checkpoints have been made at the entry and the exit points of the central Delhi area,
04:03especially the Knot place and the Jantar Mantra area,
04:06where police is asking people that why you are going towards the central area,
04:09what is your work to go towards the central area and various other questions.
04:13And then they are allowing people to come towards the Knot place, Janpath and the Jantar Mantra area.
04:19Absolutely, Anmol, thank you for bringing us those details.
04:23Viewers, these are the updates that we are bringing to you as of this hour from the National Capital,
04:29where we have witnessed protests, we have witnessed detentions,
04:33we have witnessed fortification of the National Capital on October 10th.
