Authorities Clamp Down as Cockroach Movement Launches New Wave of Protests

Indian authorities have clamped down as the 'Cockroach' protest movement (Cockroach Janta Party) launched a new wave of demonstrations, escalating the ongoing youth uprising. The CJP had previously announced its 'Mumbai Chalo' assembly at Shivaji Park Gate 6 on Gandhi Jayanti (Oct 2), with a Jail Bharo Andolan threatened if protest rights were restricted. Security forces have responded with increased restrictions and detentions as protesters gathered.
