Delhi Transport Disruptions Cause Flight Fare Increases Amid CJP Protest and Festive Season
Delhi's transport network faces significant disruptions due to the Cockroach Janta Party's protest, leading to the closure of 45 metro stations and cancellation of express trains to major stations like New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin. These restrictions coincide with the Navratri festive season, causing a slight rise in last-minute flight bookings and increased airfares on some routes, including Varanasi-Delhi and Amritsar-Delhi. Authorities have issued advisories about limited airport connectivity, with concerns over passenger and staff access to Indira Gandhi International Airport amid heightened security and traffic congestion.
