Over 20,000 security personnel deployed in New Delhi ahead of protest against voter list

A protest is set to take place in India's capital, New Delhi, on Saturday. Ahead of it, more than 20,000 police and paramilitary security personnel have been deployed there.

The protesters have alleged irregularities in the voter list. They are preparing to protest demanding the removal of the Election Commission chief from his post.

The protests have intensified this month after India's Election Commission pushed forward the 'Special Intensive Revision' process of the voter list.

Security arrangements in the capital have been tightened in view of the protest.
