Delhi Metro update: DMRC says entry and exit of all stations now open amid protest against CEC Gyanesh Kumar
Delhi Metro restored entry, exit and interchange facilities at all stations on Saturday after imposing temporary restrictions amid the CJP protest against CEC Gyanesh Kumar. The protest, over alleged irregularities in electoral rolls, saw several opposition leaders and activists detained.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced on Saturday that all metro stations across the network have reopened, ending a protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Entry and exit gates at every station are now open, along with interchange facilities. The restrictions were imposed after Delhi Police requested the closure of 57 stations due to alleged irregularities in electoral rolls and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
DMRC initially planned to reopen the stations at 6 pm on Saturday, but later extended the reopening to 10 pm on October 10. The affected stations included key locations such as Rajiv Chowk, Central Secretariat, ITO, and New Delhi. The protest involved several opposition leaders and activists demanding Kumar's resignation.
