New Delhi, July 22: Several Delhi Metro stations were temporarily closed on Wednesday as security arrangements were tightened in view of the ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) took the step as a precautionary measure to manage crowd movement and ensure passenger safety.
The closures affected 16 metro stations, including key locations in central Delhi such as Rajiv Chowk, Janpath, Patel Chowk, and Central Secretariat. Metro services continued to operate on the network, but trains were not stopping at the affected stations until further notice.
The security measures were implemented amid the ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar, where demonstrators gathered as part of their campaign. Authorities increased security deployment in central Delhi areas to maintain law and order and manage public movement around the protest site.
Commuters faced inconvenience due to the temporary station closures, with passengers advised to check updates before travelling and consider alternate routes where required. Officials said the restrictions would remain in place as a precaution until the security situation improves.
Delhi authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, with security agencies and transport officials coordinating efforts to ensure smooth movement of commuters while maintaining safety around the protest area.
