Delhi Metro Rail Corporation extended the closure of 45 metro stations until 10 pm due to security reasons, including Rajiv Chowk, Kashmere Gate, Central Secretariat, Patel Chowk, Janpath, Hauz Khas, Mandi House, ITO, and New Delhi. This decision was influenced by concerns surrounding the Cockroach Janta Party protests scheduled in the national capital. Heavy security measures were undertaken to prevent protestors from reaching the designated assembly area at Jantar Mantar.
