More than 200 people participated in a 'Tiranga March' in Bengaluru on Friday, 23 October. The march, organized by People Against SIR, demanded the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, the scrapping of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, and the repeal of the CEC and Other ECs Act, 2023. The march was delayed by about 40 minutes due to clashes between protesters and police over restrictions on placards and slogans.
