October 9, 2026

New Delhi: The Delhi Police has proposed closing the entry and exit gates of 57 metro stations in the capital and reducing the frequency of trains at these stations in view of the proposed protests on Saturday (October 10). An official letter has been sent by the Delhi Police to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) in this regard.

Police preparations for the protest at Jantar Mantar

In a letter written on Thursday, the Joint Commissioner of the Transport Range of Delhi Police requested the DMRC to take necessary steps at identified metro stations. The letter stated that there is a possibility of uncontrolled crowds moving towards sensitive areas during the proposed protests at Jantar Mantar and other locations in the New Delhi district.

The CJP has announced a youth-led protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10 on the issue of alleged ‘vote theft’.

Restrictions may begin at 9 p.m. Friday

According to the police proposal, restrictions at metro stations may begin at 9 p.m. Friday and continue until the situation returns to normal on October 10th. The police have also requested DMRC officials and staff to issue necessary instructions to implement these proposed measures.

The 57 metro stations mentioned in the letter include Rajiv Chowk, Central Secretariat, Patel Chowk, Janpath, New Delhi, Mandi House, ITO, Supreme Court, Indraprastha, Kashmere Gate, Karol Bagh, INA, Hauz Khas, Lajpat Nagar, Jamia Millia Islamia, Seelampur, Welcome, Shahdara, Rithala, Rohini East, and Rohini West, among others.

However, the Delhi Police letter only proposes these measures. It does not confirm whether the DMRC has approved or implemented the closure of gates or reduced train frequency.
