Delhi Traders Urge INDIA Bloc to Postpone November 1 Rally Over Business Concerns
Delhi traders, represented by the Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI), have urged the INDIA bloc to postpone their November 1 rally at Ramlila Maidan, citing potential disruption to business worth Rs 10,000-12,000 crore during the peak Diwali shopping season. The CTI highlighted concerns over severe traffic congestion and inadequate parking for the expected 10 lakh participants and 15,000-20,000 vehicles. The INDIA bloc plans the rally to protest alleged electoral irregularities and demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. Political leaders from both sides have responded, with some criticizing the rally's timing and others emphasizing democratic rights.
