Delhi Metro Shuts 6 Stations Ahead of Opposition March to Supreme Court

Delhi Police requested the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to close entry and exit at six key metro stations from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM citing security and public order concerns. The affected stations include Rajiv Chowk, Patel Chowk, Central Secretariat, Mandi House, Janpath, and Barakhamba Road. The closures coincide with an opposition march called by the INDIA alliance heading towards the Supreme Court, alongside planned demonstrations near Parliament Street Police Station. The Chief Justice Secretariat clarified that a meeting cannot be granted on the matter as it falls outside their jurisdiction. The shutdown follows earlier restrictions and protests against the Chief Election Commissioner, with Section 163 imposed across New Delhi district.
