The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has ordered the closure of six stations in the capital ahead of an opposition rally, citing security concerns and promising interchange facilities for commuters.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) released an advisory announcing the temporary shutdown of six metro stations in the national capital. The decision comes as security agencies prepare for a large opposition march scheduled later this week.
According to the advisory, security forces will continuously assess the situation and will provide additional updates if required. Passengers traveling through the affected stations will be directed to nearby interchange points to minimize inconvenience.
DMRC officials emphasized that the closures are a precautionary measure aimed at ensuring public safety during the political gathering. The corporation assured commuters that normal services will resume once the authorities deem the environment secure.
The move reflects coordination between the metro authority and law‑enforcement agencies, who are monitoring crowd movements and potential threats. No further details about the specific stations or the expected duration of the shutdown were disclosed at the time of the announcement.
