Delhi metro closure ends, all stations now open as CJP withdraws protest
DMRC has reopened all closed metro station gates after the CJP protest at Jantar Mantar officially ended on Saturday. The move brings relief to commuters, though passengers are still being advised to check official updates before travelling.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has reopened all metro station gates after the CJP officially withdrew their protest at Jantar Mantar after Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation on Saturday. The temporary closures were linked to security arrangements around Jantar Mantar and adjoining areas due to the protest.
DMRC had earlier reopened entry gates for Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House and Central Secretariat metro stations around 4 pm, shortly after Pradhan's resignation. The three stations, among the busiest on the Delhi Metro network, had witnessed restricted entry and exit over the past few days as authorities tightened security near the protest site.
While interchange facilities had remained available during the closures, commuters were unable to enter or leave these stations directly, leading to longer travel times and inconvenience.
The announcement comes as many office-goers, students and other passengers continue to monitor Metro advisories amid changing security arrangements in central Delhi.
Authorities have been issuing service advisories in response to developments near Jantar Mantar over the past several days. DMRC had earlier temporarily closed 16 key metro stations including Janpath, Rajiv Chowk, Patel Chowk and Central Secretariat amid the CJP protest in central Delhi.
