The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation announced the closure of entry and exit gates at 57 metro stations from 9 pm on Friday until further notice due to security reasons ahead of a planned protest.
The protest, called by the Cockroach Janta Party to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, lacked formal police permission after being submitted on short notice.
Delhi Police recommended the closures, citing the likelihood of unruly movement toward sensitive locations, while interchange facilities remain available at all affected stations except New Delhi.
