  "account": "Travelers from Meerut to New Delhi will face significant disruptions on Saturday, October 10, due to security measures for a protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Two Delhi railway stations on the Namo Bharat corridor, Sarai Kale Khan and New Ashok Nagar, will be closed until 10 pm on October 10. The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) stated that these closures are in place to ensure the protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, which is demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has also closed entry and exit gates at 45 metro stations, impacting 254 train services between 4 am and 2 pm. Passengers are advised to seek alternative travel arrangements and avoid non-essential journeys to railway stations, ISBTs, and the airport via New Delhi and Central Delhi.",
