Indian Railways Cancels Delhi-Bound Trains Ahead of October 10 CJP Protest; Metro Restrictions Imposed
Ahead of the October 10 protest led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) in Delhi demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over alleged electoral irregularities, Indian Railways cancelled all Mail and Express trains scheduled to arrive at New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin stations between 4 am and 2 pm. Delhi Police also requested closure of 57 metro stations and denied permission for the protest, citing security concerns and anticipated severe traffic congestion. Opposition leaders criticized these restrictions as attempts to suppress dissent, while authorities framed them as precautionary measures to ensure passenger safety amid expected disruptions.
