Delhi Police Requests Closure of 57 Metro Stations Ahead of October 10 CJP Protest
Ahead of the Cockroach Janata Party's protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10, Delhi Police has requested the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to close entry and exit gates at 57 metro stations from 9 pm on October 9 until the situation normalises. Train frequency at these stations may also be reduced to manage crowd movement towards sensitive areas. The protest demands the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral irregularities. Security has been heightened, with additional police and paramilitary deployments, and several schools and colleges have shifted to online classes or postponed exams due to anticipated disruptions.
