Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has reopened all entry and exit gates across its network following temporary closures implemented as a precautionary measure during Congress party protests in New Delhi. The metro system, which serves millions of commuters daily, had restricted access at several stations as part of security protocols.
The gates have now been unsealed, allowing normal passenger flow to resume across the network. The brief disruption had affected commuters during peak hours, with some stations experiencing congestion as the metro managed restricted entry and exit points.
Delhi Metro authorities had imposed the restrictions to maintain crowd control and ensure security during the Congress demonstration. Such precautionary measures are commonly implemented when large-scale protests are scheduled in proximity to major public infrastructure in the capital.
The full restoration of services marks a return to normal metro operations, with all stations functioning at their standard capacity. Commuters are advised to check the DMRC website or mobile app for real-time updates on any future service changes or advisories.
