Supreme Court Directs Regulated Delhi Metro and Train Services Ahead of October 10 Protest
The Supreme Court of India reviewed petitions challenging the closure of 57 Delhi Metro stations and cancellation of trains ahead of the October 10 protest demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. The court emphasized the fundamental right to peaceful protest but stressed that restrictions must be proportionate and not completely halt public transport, which millions rely on for livelihood. Authorities were directed to regulate services and publicize advisories to minimize commuter inconvenience. The court also suggested considering alternative protest venues with better facilities.
