Why it matters

The Ministry of Home Affairs is responsible for maintaining internal security and public order across the nation. The scale of the business losses—thousands of crores—highlights the significant economic cost associated with a failure to manage large-scale civil unrest and protests in the capital.

This incident occurs amid broader political tensions, with opposition leaders alleging that the government is attacking democratic values and suppressing the right to vote. The deployment of paramilitary forces and the subsequent shutdown of Delhi demonstrate the Ministry's operational capacity to enforce order, even at a high economic cost.
