Summary

On October 14, 2026, protests organized by the Congress-led INDIA bloc against the Election Commission of India and the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls caused significant disruptions in New Delhi. Merchant and traders' associations reported that the demonstrations led to security restrictions, road blockades, and the forced closure of markets, including Sadar Bazar, as well as commercial establishments, industrial areas, and major transport routes. Business groups have appealed to political leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, as well as the Prime Minister and the Chief Justice of India, to intervene, citing concerns that the ongoing unrest is negatively impacting commerce and livelihoods during the festive season.
