New Delhi is under heavy security after authorities detained thousands of protesters calling for the resignation of India's chief election commissioner, Bloomberg Senior Reporter Dan Strumpf told Bloomberg This Weekend. The protests follow a disputed revision of voter rolls. The movement, led largely by young people, reflects wider frustration over unemployment and limited economic opportunities, Strumpf said. The unrest comes as the Indian capital prepares to host Bloomberg's New Economy Forum.
