The proposed November 1 INDIA bloc rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan has triggered concerns among traders, with the Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) warning that business worth ₹10,000–12,000 crore across 20 markets could be affected. In a letter to Sonia Gandhi, CTI has urged the Congress to postpone the rally until after November 10–11 or shift it to Burari Maidan. Traders cite parking shortages, traffic congestion and possible disruption to business during the crucial Dhanteras and Diwali shopping period.
