Delhi Police have ordered the entry and exit points of 57 metro stations to be closed from 9 pm tonight until tomorrow, citing ongoing protests.
Delhi police announced a temporary suspension of entry and exit gates at 57 metro stations, effective from 9 pm tonight and lasting until the following morning. The measure was taken in response to a protest that authorities said could disrupt commuter safety and traffic flow.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) released a detailed list of the affected stations, confirming that the closures will be limited to gate access while train services continue to run on the network. Commuters are being advised to use alternative entry points where available or switch to other modes of transport.
Officials emphasized that the restriction is a short‑term security precaution and that normal operations will resume once the protest subsides. The police also urged the public to cooperate and stay informed through official channels.
The decision affects daily commuters across the capital, potentially increasing crowding at nearby stations and on road transport. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and will issue further updates if needed.
