The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation will close 57 stations across Delhi-NCR from 9 PM today, citing security reasons. Commuters are advised to use alternative transport modes until services resume in the early morning.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced that, for security reasons, 57 metro stations spread across the Delhi-NCR network will be closed from 9 PM today. The decision, communicated through a press release, applies to stations on all three operational lines and is expected to remain in effect until the early hours of the following day.
DMRC officials have urged regular commuters to plan their journeys accordingly and to consider alternative options such as buses, private vehicles, or ride‑sharing services during the closure period. Information about the specific stations affected will be displayed at station entrances and updated on the DMRC website and mobile app.
A DMRC spokesperson said the move is a precautionary measure aimed at ensuring passenger safety and that the corporation is coordinating with law‑enforcement agencies to monitor the situation. No further details on the nature of the security threat were disclosed.
The temporary shutdown is expected to cause inconvenience but is intended to prevent any potential risk to the public. DMRC will reassess the security posture before resuming normal operations in the morning.
