Reports indicate that at least 17 metro stations in Delhi will remain closed today. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced that these 17 stations will stay shut on Friday. This order came into effect this morning and will remain in force until further notice; effectively, metro operations in Delhi have been completely suspended for the time being. Interchange facilities remain available at Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House, and Central Secretariat metro stations.
This measure has been taken in view of security concerns regarding the protest at Jantar Mantar, leading to the closure of several stations. The protest is also affecting major roads in Delhi, causing traffic disruptions. The DMRC stated that certain stations have been closed starting today and will remain so until further orders are issued; however, interchange facilities are still being provided.

It is worth noting that Delhi residents and commuters have reported that the closure of these metro stations is forcing people to take longer routes and causing significant inconvenience; people are having to rely on buses for their commute. The bus is extremely crowded, causing inconvenience to the passengers.
So, if you live in Delhi or plan to visit, do check the metro route map first, as several metro stations have been closed today. Despite the closures, Delhi Metro has introduced some alternative routes, which you can also view on the map. Alternatively, instead of taking the metro, you can travel by bus or auto-rickshaw.
