Four metro stations in the north block area of the national capital were closed from 6 am today and will remain shut until further notice in the wake of sit-in protest by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party in New Delhi.
In a late night direction to DMRC by the Delhi Police, no services will be available at the four stations, Patel Chowk, Central Secretariat, Udhyog Bhavan and Race Course, a DMRC official said.
Also, no interchange will be available at Central Secretariat.
Trains on Line 6 coming from Badarpur to Central Secretariat will terminate at Khan Market metro station and this arrangement will be in place till further directions, the official said last night.
The directions could be highly inconvenient for commuters, especially those travelling to workplaces on Parliament Street, near where the Delhi Chief Minister is sitting on a dharna against the Centre demanding action against some Delhi Police officers for alleged negligence.
On the directions of the Delhi Police, the four metro stations were closed yesterday from 9 AM onward. Patel Chowk and Race Course metro stations were opened at 2:14 PM. The entry and exit to the Central Secretariat and Udyog Bhawan Metro stations remained closed as directed by the Delhi Police.
