All entry and exit points are being manned by the police. Only those with authenticated government passes are allowed to pass. The parking lot is empty and the area resembles a ghost town.

Even India Gate has been turned in to a virtual fortress. The 8-10 entry and exit points to India Gate have been shut and are bristling with security forces. No protesters are allowed anywhere near the India Gate
