The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Monday announced the closure of several metro stations, including Janpath and Rajiv Chowk till further instructions, citing security reasons in the national capital.
"Due to security reason, Janpath, Rajiv Chowk, Patel Chowk, Central Secretariat and Seva Teerth metro stations have been closed till further instructions," DMRC announced.
The announcement on closed Delhi Metro stations comes amid heightened security across the national capital as Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke and other activists are set to march from Jantar Mantar towards the Parliament on Monday.
Several personnel from the Rapid Action Force are stationed near the Parliament premises in view of the Monsoon Session to address both the CJP protest march and the upcoming session.
Minutes later, the metro authority shared an update saying the interchange facilities and gates are open at Rajiv Chowk and Central Secretariat metro stations.
