Fear of Nepal-Like Protests in Delhi, Police on High Alert

Protest fear in Delhi: The recent youth protests in Nepal have raised concerns among Delhi Police and security agencies. The suddenness with which thousands of youth took to the streets and launched a massive movement against the government has also alerted Indian agencies. There are fears that, like in Nepal, discontent could spread through social media in India, so Delhi Police has already begun preparations.

How the movement started in Nepal

The decision by the government to ban social media platforms recently in Nepal created tremendous resentment among the youth. On seeing this, the movement took a big form. Violent clashes took place in many cities including the capital Kathmandu, many people were injured and the administration had to impose curfew. This movement was mainly carried forward by the youth and students, who opened a front against the government in the name of "freedom of expression".

Preparations of Delhi Police

Delhi Police has taken this entire incident seriously. According to sources, the Police Commissioner has instructed the DCPs of all the districts to keep an eye on sensitive areas. The activities of universities, social media trends and student organizations are being strictly monitored. To increase security, patrolling has been increased in many areas and cyber cells have also been alerted to immediately identify inflammatory or rumors on social media. To enhance security, patrols have been increased in many areas, and the cyber cell has also been alerted to quickly identify inflammatory or rumor-mongering content on social media.

What is the Delhi Police's strategy?

The police strategy is working on two levels. First, prevention and surveillance—to prevent any misinformation or inflammatory posts at the earliest stage. Second, field deployment—to ensure immediate action if a crowd suddenly gathers at any location. In addition, the administration is ensuring communication is maintained and the use of force is avoided in the event of a worsening situation.

Central agencies also on alert

In addition to the Delhi Police, central intelligence agencies are also on alert. Continuous reports are being prepared on the situation in Nepal to control any ideological or digital wave before it spreads to India. Agencies believe that social media has become the most powerful medium for protests in any country, and if it is not handled promptly, the situation can quickly spiral out of control.

Preparing for any unexpected situation

The protests in Nepal have created a stir across South Asia. Preparations for the Delhi Police are an indication that the administration now wants to be ready for any unexpected situation. The effort of the government and security agencies is that the freedom of expression of citizens should remain, but there should be no heat on law & order.
