Youth protesters in India continued a sit-in demonstration on the streets of New Delhi on Thursday, according to reports. The participants, who identify with the "Cockroach" movement, remained in place despite increased security measures and police action intended to clear the area.
The demonstration is part of a series of actions directed at the administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Protesters have established street camps to maintain a continuous presence in the capital, citing a variety of grievances regarding government policy and youth-related issues.
Law enforcement authorities deployed heavy security and attempted to enforce restrictions on public gatherings to manage the protests. Details regarding specific arrests or injuries were not immediately confirmed by official sources. Government representatives have not issued a formal response to the latest gathering.
