CTI urges Congress to postpone November 1 rally, says ₹10,000-12,000 crore trade in Delhi markets at risk
India’s Confederation of Trade and Industry (CTI) wrote to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi requesting that the party delay its planned November 1 rally in Delhi. CTI warned that the event, expected to attract around one million participants, could disrupt wholesale and retail commerce in central and Old Delhi, jeopardising trade valued at roughly ₹10,000‑12,000 crore during the peak festive period.
