Nine Metro stations in Central Delhi will remain closed today in the wake of the protests that continued near India Gate over the gangrape of a paramedic student, the DMRC said yesterday night.
Pragati Maidan, Mandi House, Patel Chowk, Central Secretariat, Udyog Bhawan, Khan Market, Race Course, Rajiv Chowk and Barakhamba stations will remain closed today.
The closing of stations came following a direction from Delhi Police.
“The stations will remain closed till DMRC gets further orders from the Delhi Police. However, interchange will be allowed at Central Secretariat station,” a DMRC official said.
The decision was taken after protests over the gangrape of a young girl erupted in Raisina Hill, the seat of power.
