CTI seeks ban on protests in Delhi till Diwali, says business hit

·The Hindu·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

CTI, a trade organisation, has requested the government to impose a ban on protests in Delhi until Diwali. This move is aimed at protecting the business of around 15 lakh traders in the national capital. The organisation claims that ongoing protests are causing significant losses to traders, affecting their livelihoods. If implemented, this ban could have a significant impact on the local economy, potentially affecting consumer spending and business operations in the lead-up to Diwali.
