SurveyWhy Delhi metro stations are closed
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has been holding a protest demanding the resignation of the Union Education Minister over the NEET issue. To manage crowds and maintain law and order in the area, the metro authority has shut passenger movement at stations close to the protest site. While trains will continue to pass through these stations, they will not stop there. Additionally, the station gates will remain closed, so passengers will not be able to enter or exit at these stations. However, interchanges at these stations will continue to operate as usual.
