  "account": "The Supreme Court has instructed the central government to regulate public transport, including Delhi Metro and railways, ahead of the October 10th protests in Delhi. The court emphasized that there should be no complete prohibition on the movement of metro trains, stressing the importance of ensuring commuters do not face inconvenience while allowing authorities to take regulatory measures to maintain law and order. The bench also directed authorities to publicize any operational decisions to inform commuters and avoid further inconvenience. Solicitor General Kapil Sibal, appearing for the petitioner CPI(M) General Secretary MA Baby, expressed concern about the complete closure of metro station entries and the impact on thousands of commuters, including students, employees, and senior citizens who rely on public transport for their livelihood.",
  "summary": "The Supreme Court directed Delhi authorities not to completely suspend metro services ahead of the 10 October protests. It said operations may be regulated for law and order but commuters must not be left without public transport, and ordered authorities to publicise any restrictions.",
