  "summary": "The Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) has urged Lok Sabha leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi to postpone the INDIA bloc's upcoming rally scheduled for November 1 at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi. The CTI claims that the rally could disrupt business worth Rs 10,000 crore during the peak Diwali shopping season, which begins a week before the festival. The traders' body highlights that the rally could affect wholesale and retail markets around Ramlila Maidan, as people begin shopping for Dhanteras and Diwali a week in advance. The CTI further points out that traders in Delhi have already suffered losses of around Rs 3,000 crore due to rallies, marches, and road closures in central Delhi, which could be exacerbated by the anticipated traffic diversions and barricading during the rally.",
