The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has closed 16 metro stations from 7:30 am until further notice due to security concerns amid the Cockroach Janta Party-led student protest at Jantar Mantar. While interchange services remain available at Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House and Central Secretariat, trains are skipping several affected stations, disrupting travel for thousands of commuters. The protests, demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the alleged NEET paper leak, intensified after the July 20 'Sansad Chalo' march, which saw clashes between protesters and police. Opposition leaders criticised the closures, while passengers reported confusion, delays and being forced to travel beyond destinations before returning by road. (PC: Times Now)
