All entry and exit gates at Delhi Metro’s 45 stations, previously shut for security reasons, have been reopened, officials said.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced that the entry and exit gates at all 45 stations, which were temporarily closed due to security concerns, are now operational. The decision follows a thorough security assessment that satisfied the authorities and allowed commuter flow to resume without restrictions.
Officials emphasized that the reopening is part of a broader effort to ensure passenger safety while minimizing inconvenience. Additional security personnel remain on duty, and random checks will continue at key points across the network.
Commuters are advised to follow standard safety protocols, including maintaining social distancing where possible and cooperating with security staff. The DMRC thanked the public for their patience during the brief shutdown.
The metro system, which serves millions daily across the National Capital Region, expects a swift return to normal ridership levels now that the gates are open.
