Police Barricades in Delhi Prevent Daily-Wage Workers from Reaching Workplaces Amid Protests
Thousands of daily-wage workers and gig employees in Delhi were prevented from reaching central city workplaces due to extensive police barricades amid a large youth-led protest demanding the suspension of the special intensive revision and the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Security forces allowed only those with government IDs to enter central Delhi, leaving many workers unable to earn daily wages. Affected workers expressed concerns over lost income impacting their families and livelihoods during the lockdown.
