The official Delhi Metro Rail Corporation notification confirms that 18 vital metro stations located in Lutyens and central Delhi have been shuttered for public entry and exit until further notice. The complete list of closed stations features Lok Kalyan Marg, Rajiv Chowk, Patel Chowk, Ramakrishna Ashram Marg, Barakhamba Road, Supreme Court, Seva Teerth, Janpath, Mandi House, Central Secretariat, ITO, Delhi Gate, Indraprastha, Khan Market, Jor Bagh, Shivaji Stadium, Jhandewalan, and New Delhi metro stations. Heavy contingents of security personnel have been deployed outside all these locked stations, with authorities strongly advising commuters to utilize alternative transit routes.
Despite the blanket ban on entering or exiting these terminal and corridor stations, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has accommodated transit commuters by keeping interchange channels open at major junctions like Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House, and Central Secretariat. Passengers switching between different metro lines can seamlessly move from one platform to another within the station premises, but exiting the station gates remains strictly prohibited.
The Cockroach Janata Party continues mounting heavy pressure against the central government over the NEET paper leak scandal, refusing to back down despite health setbacks among its leadership. Abhijit Deepke, one of the primary faces of the organization, has tested positive for typhoid following a high fever, yet the unrelenting protesters refuse to halt their agitation. The representatives of the Cockroach Janata Party remain firmly deadlocked on their primary demands, calling for the immediate resignation of the education minister alongside fair compensation for all affected families. Police authorities specifically requested the severe curtailment of metro operations to curb massive protester gatherings around parliament and surrounding sensitive zones.
