The CJP's protest in Delhi on Saturday prompted authorities to impose restrictions on metro and train services as part of crowd-control measures. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has extended the closure of 45 metro stations until 10 pm on Saturday amid the ongoing protest. The move comes as authorities continue to implement security measures to manage the situation and control crowds.
However, train operations across the North Central Railway (NCR) zone have returned to normal, with all services running according to their scheduled timings.
