Delhi Metro Closes Five Stations Ahead of Cockroach Janta Party Protest March
On Monday, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation closed five key stations—Rajiv Chowk, Janpath, Patel Chowk, Central Secretariat, and Seva Teerth—due to security concerns ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party's planned protest march to Parliament during the Monsoon Session. The protest, pressing for education reforms, lacked official permission, prompting heightened security including Rapid Action Force deployment. The closures caused significant commuter disruptions, with many stranded and forced to seek alternate routes, while some protesters gathered inside metro stations chanting slogans.
