Delhi authorities closed six metro stations and restricted traffic on October 12 as protests over India’s voter-roll revisions reached the capital’s courts and transit network. Reuters reported the closures as opposition groups challenged the election commission’s changes to electoral lists. Hindustan Times reported that police said more than 700 people were detained during Sunday’s demonstrations; weekend totals reported by different outlets vary by date and scope. Opposition parties argue that the revisions risk excluding eligible voters, while the election commission and governing party reject allegations of manipulation. The immediate consequence reaches beyond party politics: residents faced interrupted transit, protesters faced detention, and the process for determining who appears on the voter register is under intensifying scrutiny. Associated Press also covered the October 12 court-focused demonstrations.
