New Delhi: Commuters travelling across Delhi on October 10, 2026, were advised to check the latest Delhi Metro service updates after the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced restrictions at 45 metro stations due to security arrangements linked to a proposed protest at Jantar Mantar.
According to reports published on October 9, the revised list reduced the number of affected stations from 57 to 45 following the Supreme Court’s intervention. The restrictions were scheduled to begin at 9 PM on October 9 and continue until 6 PM on October 10, subject to further review by security agencies.
The restrictions were intended to manage security concerns and crowd movement in the national capital. Passengers were advised to plan their journeys accordingly and allow extra time for travel.
Why Are 45 Delhi Metro Stations Being Closed?
The restrictions were linked to security arrangements ahead of a proposed protest at Jantar Mantar. Protest organisers planned to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Under the reported arrangements, passengers would not be allowed to enter or exit the affected metro stations during the specified period. However, interchange facilities were expected to remain available at most stations, allowing passengers to change metro lines where permitted.
New Delhi Metro Station was a notable exception, as its interchange facility was also reported to be unavailable during the restriction period.
DMRC’s measures were intended to help security agencies manage the situation and minimise potential disruptions around sensitive locations.

Will Delhi Metro Trains Continue Running?
The restrictions concern station entry and exit rather than necessarily suspending train services across the entire Delhi Metro network. However, passengers should check the latest official DMRC announcements for route-specific updates and any changes to interchange arrangements.
Commuters travelling through central Delhi, particularly those using Rajiv Chowk, Central Secretariat, New Delhi, Kashmere Gate and other affected stations, should verify their routes before leaving home.
What Should Delhi Metro Passengers Do?
Passengers planning to travel on October 10 should follow these precautions:
Check official DMRC updates before starting their journey.
Identify alternative stations and routes in advance.
Allow additional time for travel and possible diversions.
Follow instructions issued by metro staff and security personnel.
Avoid assuming that an interchange facility will remain available at every affected station.
