Delhi Metro Closes Five Stations Ahead of CJP March, Leaving Commuters Stranded

Delhi Metro authorities announced the closure of five stations on the Red Line on the day of the Chief Justice of India’s (CJP) march, citing security and crowd control measures. The decision, made hours before the protest began, left thousands of commuters stranded as the usual flow of passengers was abruptly halted.

The metro operator stated that the shutdown was a precautionary step to ensure the safety of both the march participants and the public. However, the move triggered widespread frustration among daily riders, many of whom had to seek alternative routes or wait for the service to resume.

Transport officials are working to restore normal operations, but commuters are advised to use other modes of transport or plan for delays until the metro service resumes after the march concludes.
