INDIA Bloc Holds Rally at Ramlila Maidan Amid Electoral Roll Protest and Security Measures
The INDIA bloc is holding a major rally and march on November 1 at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan to protest alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. The march is planned from Connaught Place to Ramlila Maidan, though police have only granted permission for the rally, not the procession. Security is heightened with around 10,000 personnel deployed. Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, urge public participation, while the BJP criticizes the protest. Traders express concerns about potential business losses during the festive season.
