Delhi Police has deployed additional personnel, strengthened barricades and carried out intensive vehicle checks at key entry points, sources said on Sunday (July 19, 2026).

Preventive deployment will continue throughout the Parliament session, police added.

Many entry points in parts of New Delhi, Central Delhi and North Delhi have been turned into high-security zones with multi-layered barricades, enhanced surveillance, anti-sabotage checks and 24-hour patrols, it said.

A senior police source said elaborate preventive arrangements have been made to maintain law and order during the Parliament session.

“Every vehicle entering the New Delhi area is being thoroughly checked. Additional pickets have been set up at strategic points and reserve forces have been kept on standby. CCTV surveillance has also been intensified in sensitive areas,” the source said.

While security has been strengthened around Jantar Mantar, Parliament Street, Central Vista, Connaught Place, Shankar Chowk and other important facilities, rapid response teams have also been positioned to respond to any unexpected situation.

The increased vigil comes amid new developments at the protest site where CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke continued his indefinite hunger strike after activist Sonam Wangchuk was taken to Safdarjung Hospital on Saturday (July 18, 2026).

Mr. Wangchuk issued a message from the hospital urging supporters to join the proposed July 20 march.
