Delhi Police on Friday asked the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to reduce train frequency and close entry and exit gates at 57 metro stations from 9 pm on October 9 until the situation normalises on October 10, citing proposed protests at Jantar Mantar and other locations and the possibility of unruly crowds moving towards sensitive areas.
The stations include Rajiv Chowk, Central Secretariat, New Delhi, Kashmere Gate, Mandi House, ITO, Patel Chowk and Supreme Court, among others. The advisory also covers stations across multiple metro lines, including Hauz Khas, Lajpat Nagar, Jamia Millia Islamia and Sarai Kale Khan–Nizamuddin. The restrictions will remain in place until the situation normalises, according to the police letter dated October 8.
