Several Delhi Metro stations remain closed today; here’s how to check route and station status before traveling..

Commuters in Delhi are facing ongoing disruptions. Due to protests by student organizations, the Delhi Metro has temporarily closed 16 stations in Central Delhi. The protest at Jantar Mantar concerns issues related to the NEET examination. If you are planning to travel towards Central Delhi, please check your route and the metro status before leaving home.

**Why were the metro stations closed?**

According to reports, activists from the 'Cockroach Janta Party' (CJP) are demanding the resignation of the Union Education Minister over issues concerning the NEET exam. To maintain law and order and control crowds during the protest, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has suspended passenger entry and exit at several stations near Jantar Mantar.

While metro trains will continue to pass through these stations, they will not stop there. Additionally, all entry and exit gates at these stations will remain closed; however, interchange facilities will continue to operate as usual.

**How ​​long will the stations remain closed?**

The DMRC announced on its official X (formerly Twitter) account that these 16 stations were closed starting at 7:30 AM and will remain shut until further notice. Although interchange facilities will remain operational at stations like Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House, and Central Secretariat, passengers will not be permitted to enter or exit the stations.

**How ​​to check the status before leaving home**

Metro services may undergo changes throughout the day depending on the protest situation.
