New Delhi: The entry and exit gates of all metro stations of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) including Lok Kalyan Marg, Janpath, Patel Chowk, Central Secretariat, and Udyog Bhawan were reopened after being shut for security reasons.
The entry and exit gates at these metro stations were shut by DMRC as a precautionary measure amid protests at India Gate and Jantar Mantar against the police crackdown on Jamia Millia Islamia and AMU students and the Citizenship Amendment Act.
"Entry and exit gates at all stations have been opened. Normal services have resumed in all stations," DMRC said in a tweet.
On Sunday, the Delhi Metro had suspended services at 15 metro stations in the Magenta and Yellow lines as a precautionary measure.
