Delhi Metro Closure Row: Supreme Court Warns of Intervention Over Closed Delhi Metro Stations

The Supreme Court has warned that it may intervene if 16 closed Delhi Metro stations are not reopened by this afternoon. These metro stations in the New Delhi area were shut due to security concerns amid the ongoing Parliament session and student protests. The closures have caused major inconvenience to daily commuters, leading to frustration and protests from passengers. The issue was brought before the Chief Justice by the Supreme Court Bar Association, highlighting that the closure of the Supreme Court Metro Station has severely affected lawyers, court staff, and officials who depend on metro services for daily travel. The Chief Justice said the court would wait until afternoon and, if the stations remain closed without sufficient reason, necessary action would be taken. The concern is not limited to the Supreme Court area; thousands of regular commuters using these metro stations are also facing difficulties. The court’s possible intervention aims to address public inconvenience while balancing security requirements.
