Delhi police closed six metro stations and imposed traffic restrictions ahead of a planned protest march by opposition parties to the Supreme Court on Monday. The demonstrations are in response to a controversial voter list revision which removed over 130 million names, including 30 million untraced voters, sparking unrest and accusations from opposition groups that minorities are disproportionately affected. Police detained thousands of protesters over the weekend, with opposition leader Rahul Gandhi announcing another march despite Chief Justice Surya Kant advising legal channels instead of street protests for addressing concerns about electoral integrity.

Story summary
Delhi authorities shut six metro stations and warned of traffic disruptions on Monday ahead of a planned protest march by opposition parties against a controversial voter list revision. The revision, which began last year, removed over 130 million names, more than the population of Japan, including 30 million who could not be traced and 63 million relocated voters. Critics allege that Muslim voters and other minorities are disproportionately affected, though both the Election Commission and the ruling BJP deny this claim.
The opposition aims to march to the Supreme Court at 08:00 GMT with a memorandum demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over alleged vote fraud. However, Chief Justice Surya Kant declined a meeting request from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, advising them to address issues legally since cases related to voter list revisions are already pending before the court.
Despite restrictions imposed by authorities to prevent protesters from reaching their destination, thousands of security forces were deployed in Delhi, leading to several arrests over the weekend.
