While the protest has generated significant attention online, police sources said no formal request seeking permission for the demonstration has been received.Authorities have nevertheless stepped up surveillance and security based on inputs gathered through social media monitoring and intelligence assessments. Multiple layers of barricades have been installed outside the airport precinct, while vehicle-checking drives have been intensified at border points and key routes leading into central Delhi.Heavy police deployment was visible at the airport and surrounding areas on Friday. Senior officers, including Deputy Commissioner of Police (IGI) Vichitra Veer, reviewed arrangements and briefed personnel on security protocols.Police sources said a high-level review meeting was held on Friday, during which district units were directed to remain vigilant and maintain adequate reserve forces on standby.

What began as an internet movement has since evolved into a more organised campaign with a sizeable online following.Police have maintained that all arrangements are aimed at ensuring public safety and smooth movement of commuters while keeping a close watch on any activity that could affect law and order.
