The Delhi police have refused to grant permission for a protest planned by the Chief Justice of India tomorrow and have instructed the Delhi Metro to shut down 57 stations.
Delhi police issued a statement on Tuesday stating that no permission has been granted for the Chief Justice of India’s planned stir scheduled for tomorrow. The authorities said the decision was taken to maintain public order and ensure the safety of commuters.
In line with the directive, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has been asked to close 57 stations across the network. Officials indicated that the closures would be implemented from early morning to mitigate any disruption caused by the protest.
The move comes amid heightened sensitivity around large‑scale gatherings in the capital. Police have urged the protest organizers to seek alternative, peaceful means of expressing their concerns, while assuring the public that essential services will be restored once the situation stabilises.
