Delhi Metro stations closed: Full list of 57 DMRC stations that will be closed on October 10

- Authorities are bracing for the protest by deploying 23,000 CAPF personnel, though Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the Bench he cannot guarantee specific outcomes as he cannot foresee what might unfold on Saturday.
