India
Delhi is getting a major security boost this week: the Center has sent in 3000 more armed police personnel to help manage ongoing protests at Jantar Mantar.
This move, which lasts until July 27, comes after a request from Delhi Police and aims to keep things calm while Parliament's Monsoon Session is underway.
