Delhi Metro Closes 16-17 Stations Amid Security Measures During CJP Protests
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) closed 16 to 17 metro stations in central Delhi from 7:30 am until further notice amid heightened security due to ongoing Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protests at Jantar Mantar. Entry and exit were suspended at affected stations, including Rajiv Chowk, Central Secretariat, and Mandi House, though interchange facilities remained operational at these hubs. The closures, continuing for multiple days, disrupted commuters, causing longer travel times and increased costs. The protests demand Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over alleged NEET exam irregularities, with authorities deploying additional security to maintain order.
