Delhi Metro shuts entry, exit at six stations till 4 pm ahead of Congress protest

Entry and exit gates at six Delhi Metro stations, including Central Secretariat, Rajiv Chowk and Patel Chowk, will remain closed until 4 pm on Monday in view of a protest announced by the Congress against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said entry and exit facilities at Janpath, Mandi House, Barakhamba Road, Central Secretariat, Rajiv Chowk and Patel Chowk have been shut due to security concerns. However, passengers will be able to use interchange facilities at all six stations, it said in a post on X.

The DMRC said security agencies would review the situation and further updates would be issued as necessary.

The Congress has announced the protest against the chief election commissioner over its allegations of “vote chori”.  (with inputs from PTI)
