> Opposition parties are preparing to march to the Supreme Court over voter-list revisions and demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Thousands of security personnel have been deployed in New Delhi, where several metro stations are closed; police detained thousands of protesters over the weekend. The Election Commission denies wrongdoing. Critics say more than 133 million names were removed, disproportionately affecting minorities.
