New Delhi: Passenger access has been restricted at six major Delhi Metro stations as part of security measures linked to national security concerns. The restrictions are in force from 6 am to 4 pm today, based on an assessment by security agencies.
The affected stations are Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House, Patel Chowk, Janpath, Central Secretariat and Barakhamba Road. Passengers will not be allowed to enter these stations or begin their journeys from them during the restriction period.
The closure of these key stations, several of which serve important transport and administrative areas in the national capital, is likely to affect travel plans. Commuters have been advised to check their routes and make alternative arrangements where necessary.
Interchange Facilities to Remain Available
Despite the restrictions on passenger entry, interchange facilities for switching between Metro lines will remain available, according to the information provided. However, passengers will not be able to enter the affected stations or use them as starting points for their journeys during the closure period.
The restrictions are part of security-related measures taken following an assessment by the relevant agencies. Security evaluations are continuing in view of the prevailing circumstances.
Commuters Advised to Plan Ahead
The current advisory states that the restrictions will remain in place until 4 pm. Passengers travelling through central Delhi and other affected areas should plan their journeys accordingly and check for further official updates before setting out.
Commuters are advised to allow additional time for travel and use alternative stations where necessary. Any extension or modification of the restrictions would depend on further official instructions.
