Supreme Court Reviews Delhi Metro Closures and Train Cancellations Ahead of October 10 Protest
Ahead of the October 10 protest by the Cockroach Janata Party demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, the Supreme Court heard pleas challenging the closure of 57 Delhi Metro stations and cancellation of trains to Delhi. Senior advocates, including Kapil Sibal, argued these restrictions disproportionately affect citizens' right to peaceful protest and daily commuters. The court expressed serious concerns about the impact on millions relying on public transport, emphasizing the need to balance protest rights with public access and ordered the government to reconsider blanket curbs to avoid complete transport shutdowns.
