What happened: On October 11 a Delhi jeweller described frustration over protests against the chief election commissioner, after the government cancelled trains, closed metro stations and shut markets including Karol Bagh. Why it matters: He said the disruption hurt business at the start of the festive season, and despite annoyance at protesters he was sympathetic to their cause, saying something seemed wrong with the voting system. Key numbers: October 11; Special Intensive Revision referenced.
