Delhi Metro announced the closure of multiple stations on October 10 to facilitate the Chief Justice of India's protest at Jantar Mantar, urging commuters to plan alternate routes.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has issued a notice that a number of stations will remain non‑operational on October 10, the day a protest led by the Chief Justice of India is scheduled at Jantar Mantar. The decision, released through official channels, aims to ensure public safety and minimise disruption to the city’s transport network during the demonstration.
The closures will affect stations that lie on routes serving the Jantar Mantar vicinity, although the exact list has not been disclosed in the source. DMRC has advised commuters to seek alternative modes of travel, such as buses, auto‑rickshaws or other metro stations that remain open, and to check real‑time updates on the corporation’s app and website.
Authorities anticipate a large gathering at the historic protest site, prompting the pre‑emptive shutdown of metro services in the area. The move reflects coordination between the metro authority and law‑enforcement agencies to manage crowd flow and maintain order.
Passengers are urged to allow extra travel time and to stay informed about any further changes. The DMRC reiterated its commitment to passenger safety while supporting the city’s right to peaceful assembly.
