India: Protests over voter roll revisions trigger lockdown in capital
NPR·IN·2 days ago

The move escalates a domestic political crisis, with protests intensifying ahead of elections. The court's response and the government's justification remain uncertain, but the dispute threatens to undermine electoral credibility.
