Congress march to SC to demand end to 'vote chori' today: Are metros, schools, and offices open today?

Opposition parties will march to the Supreme Court on Monday at 1:30 pm, led by Congress figures Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge. Their aim is to discuss alleged "vote chori," or election fraud, and demand a meeting with Chief Justice of India Surya Kant. Gandhi and Kharge have written to the Chief Justice, requesting that he halt the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, return to the paper ballot format, and resign CEC Gyanesh Kumar.

However, the Chief Justice declined to meet Gandhi, stating that similar matters are currently under review in the Supreme Court.

From 6 am to 4 pm on Monday, entry and exit at six metro stations – Patel Chowk, Janpath, Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House, Central Secretariat, and Barakhamba Road – will remain closed. Traffic diversions will be enforced at key intersections and roads in New Delhi and Central Delhi.

Regarding schools, there is no confirmation of a nationwide holiday. Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad schools are expected to operate as usual unless local authorities or individual institutions announce otherwise. Offices, both government and private, will remain open, but some may offer work-from-home options for employees in restricted zones.

Trains have resumed their normal schedule following a rescheduling on Saturday. Most general markets, shops, and commercial establishments are open, though areas around Central Delhi and Connaught Place may experience selective operations or security checks.
