Delhi traffic curbs as INDIA bloc marches to ECI
On Tuesday, the Delhi Traffic Police released a traffic advisory due to planned marches by INDIA bloc MPs to the Election Commission office. Traffic regulation or diversion was expected from 8 am onwards in key areas of New Delhi, including Connaught Place, Patel Chowk, Parliament Street, and others, due to barricades and diversions.
Commuters were advised to avoid unnecessary travel, plan their journeys, and use Metro or public transport. Extra travel time was recommended, and they were asked to follow traffic personnel and signage instructions.
The security around Vijay Chowk intensified in preparation for a protest by opposition parties. Multiple layers of barricades were set up to maintain law and order, and Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel were stationed near Akashva. Opposition leaders and MPs planned to march towards Nirvachan Sadan, the headquarters of the Election Commission of India (ECI), to protest alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process and demand the removal of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar.
The demonstration was part of the Opposition's Save Democracy campaign, which has been organizing demonstrations and public programs against the Election Commission over electoral roll-related issues and transparency concerns.
