Delhi Metro stations closed: Full list of 57 DMRC stations that will be closed on October 10
- On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled against complete shutdown of Delhi metro and rail services ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party protest scheduled for Saturday, citing the principle of proportionality.
- The protest call for October 10 prompted authorities to order closure of 57 metro stations, suspend rail services to New Delhi and Nizamuddin stations, and prohibit assembly at Jantar Mantar.
- Chief Justice of India Surya Kant advised the Centre and Delhi Police against the "use a hammer to kill a fly" principle, while Solicitor General Tushar Mehta agreed to reconsider restrictions.
- The Bench instructed officials to ensure free flow of traffic and issue advisories for sensitive areas, emphasizing that regulation should prevent public hardship rather than complete prohibition.
- 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.
