Delhi Metro Update

Additionally, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced that, due to security measures, entry and exit points at Lok Kalyan Marg Metro Station, Gate no 3 of Patel Chowk Metro Station, and Gate no 5 of Central Secretariat Metro Station will remain closed until further notice.

The restrictions have been announced to control the law and order situation in the national capital where AAP members have been actively demonstrating since the arrest of CM Arvind Kejriwal. The Delhi chief minister was detained following a two-hour search and questioning session last Thursday night by the Enforcement Directorate, in connection with a money laundering case tied to the Delhi Excise Policy scam.
