印度工商会（CTI）要求从纳夫拉特里节至排灯节期间，禁止在德里的主要商业区及市中心地区举行大规模抗议活动，理由是此类活动会对商业经营造成负面影响。该组织还敦促政府在城外设立一个永久性的抗议区域。
The Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) has demanded a ban on large-scale protests in Delhi’s key commercial and central areas from Navratri till Diwali, citing their impact on businesses. The outfit also urged the government to designate a permanent protest zone outside the city.
在致总理纳伦德拉·莫迪的信中，CTI主席布里杰什·戈亚尔呼吁对在简塔曼塔广场、议会街以及卢蒂恩斯区举行的大规模集会实施限制。他指出，频繁发生的示威活动及地铁服务的中断已严重影响了商贩的生意以及顾客的出行。
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, CTI chairman Brijesh Goyal called for restrictions on large gatherings at Jantar Mantar, Parliament Street and Lutyens’ Delhi, saying repeated demonstrations and disruptions to metro services were affecting traders and customer movement. Goyal said the festive period, beginning with Navratri and Ramlila events on October 11, is crucial for traders, with Diwali and the wedding season following.
戈亚尔表示，从10月11日的纳夫拉特里节和拉姆利拉节开始，随后便是排灯节及婚礼旺季，这段时期对商人们而言至关重要。
The organisation said restrictions are needed to protect the business of around 15 lakh traders in the national capital.
该组织强调，必须实施相关限制措施，以保护首都约150万名商贩的生意。
According to a CTI survey, business activity in Delhi’s markets has fallen by around 70% over the past three days.
根据CTI的一项调查，过去三天里，德里各市场的商业活动量下降了约70%。
The number of customers visiting the city from outside Delhi for shopping has declined from an estimated two to three lakh daily to around 40,000-50,000, and the local footfall dropped by more than 50%, the collective claimed.
该组织称，原本每天约有20万至30万外地游客前来购物，如今这一数字已降至4万至5万左右；本地顾客的到访量也减少了50%以上。
Repeated metro station closures, traffic congestion and disruptions around Jantar Mantar, Parliament Street and Connaught Place were discouraging people from visiting markets, it said.
此外，简塔曼塔广场、议会街及康诺特广场周边频繁出现的地铁站关闭、交通拥堵及秩序混乱现象，也令人们望而却步、不愿前往市场。
”We fully respect the right to peaceful protest in a democracy.
“我们完全尊重民主制度下的和平抗议权利。然而，在节日来临前夕，成千上万的人聚集在德里市中心举行示威活动，这无疑会对商贩们造成直接冲击，”戈亚尔说道。
However, when thousands gather for demonstrations in central Delhi just before the festive season, it directly affects traders,” Goyal said.
CTI秘书长古尔米特·阿罗拉指出，政府应针对在简塔曼塔广场及其他重要地点举行的、参与人数超过1000人的示威活动出台新的指导方针。
CTI general secretary Gurmeet Arora said the government should issue fresh guidelines for demonstrations involving more than 1,000 people at Jantar Mantar and other prominent locations.
该组织还提议在德里市中心外围设立永久性抗议区域，并建议将布拉里或拉姆利拉广场作为合适地点。
The organisation also proposed setting up a permanent protest zone outside central Delhi, suggesting Burari or the Ramlila Maidan as possible locations.
这些诉求是在“蟑螂人民党”号召于10月10日在德里举行抗议活动、要求选举委员会主席吉亚内什·库马尔辞职之前提出的。
The demands come ahead of the Cockroach Janata Party’s call for a protest in Delhi on October 10 for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
