On October 10, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) declared that it did not cancel or reduce any train services despite protests and restrictions imposed at select stations. In a response to the Supreme Court, the DMRC maintained that all 4,157 scheduled train trips were executed according to the regular Saturday timetable. The corporation operated 271 trains on that day, aligning with its standard schedule.
Out of its 303 stations, 57 were closed for entry and exit due to preventive measures, while 85% of the network remained accessible to passengers. The restrictions were limited and proportionate, with most stations operating normally and alternative stations available for those affected. The DMRC stated that the measures were taken to regulate passenger movement rather than disrupt the services.
