Delhi Metro Closes Multiple Stations Ahead of Jantar Mantar Protests Over Electoral Roll Revision
Delhi Metro closed entry and exit at 11-12 central stations, including Rajiv Chowk and Central Secretariat, amid planned protests at Jantar Mantar on October 2. The demonstrations, led by the Aam Aadmi Party, student unions like AISA, NSUI, and Indian Youth Congress, demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Delhi Police denied protest permission and imposed security restrictions, deploying additional forces and barricades to maintain order. Interchange facilities remain operational at key stations.
