Delhi shuts metro stations, restricts traffic ahead of new protest against election chief
Asia-Pacific2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported55m ago
Authorities in Delhi closed six metro stations for security reasons on Monday and implemented traffic restrictions and diversions across more than 20 stretches ahead of a planned protest against the nation's election chief.
The demonstrations stem from a controversial revision of electoral rolls by India's election authorities. Opposition parties have accused these bodies of deleting millions of voters from the rolls to benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The restrictions and ongoing demonstrations highlight escalating political tensions in the capital surrounding the integrity of the election administration and the disputed voter list revisions.
