In view of a major political march scheduled in the national capital, security arrangements have been significantly stepped up to maintain law and order. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has temporarily closed the entry and exit gates of six prominent metro stations as a precautionary measure.
According to official updates, the affected stations include Patel Chowk, Janpath, Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House, Central Secretariat, and Barakhamba Road. Commuters faced initial disruptions during the morning hours, but authorities emphasized that these measures are essential to ensure public safety and crowd management during the ongoing events.
Traffic Advisory and Route Diversions
Apart from the metro closures, vehicular movement is expected to be heavily impacted across several key arterial roads in the city. The Delhi Traffic Police has issued an exhaustive advisory, indicating that traffic diversions may be implemented at multiple locations depending on the ground situation.
Commuters heading towards railway stations, bus terminals, or the airport have been strongly advised to factor in extra travel time and avoid non-essential travel through the affected zones. Real-time updates are continuously being shared via the official social media handles of the Delhi Traffic Police to assist the public.
Heightened Vigilance
Heavy police deployment and paramilitary forces have been stationed at sensitive locations across the city to monitor the situation closely. Senior officials are personally overseeing security arrangements to prevent any untangling of public order. Citizens are urged to cooperate with law enforcement personnel and adhere to all traffic advisories.
