Protests Erupt in Mumbai and Delhi Over CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Decisions

Hundreds of citizens assembled outside the Election Commission offices in Mumbai and later in Delhi, voicing strong opposition to recent decisions taken by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Organisers said the moves undermine electoral fairness and call for immediate corrective action.
Police deployed additional personnel to manage the crowds, urging demonstrators to remain peaceful while filing formal complaints. Several protestors held placards demanding a transparent review of the commission's recent rulings.
In response, election officials announced a special voter drive aimed at boosting registration ahead of upcoming polls, a move critics argue is insufficient without addressing the core grievances raised by the protesters.
