Delhi Police has asked DMRC to close 57 metro stations ahead of the CJP protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10. Check the complete station list and travel advisory.
Delhi Metro commuters may face travel disruptions as Delhi Police has asked the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to temporarily close 57 metro stations ahead of the proposed Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests in the national capital. The request cites concerns about possible crowd movement towards sensitive locations. According to the police communication, entry and exit gates at the identified stations may remain closed from 9 PM on Friday, October 9, and throughout Saturday, October 10, 2026, until the situation returns to normal.
The proposed restrictions come ahead of a demonstration called by CJP against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Jantar Mantar. Police have also suggested that the frequency of metro trains passing through the affected stations could be reduced, depending on the security situation.
Why Has Delhi Police Requested the Closure of 57 Metro Stations?
Delhi Police has cited the possibility of large crowds moving towards sensitive locations as the reason behind its request to DMRC. In a letter dated Thursday, Joint Commissioner of Police (Transport Range) Rajneesh Gupta reportedly asked the metro operator to close entry and exit gates at the identified stations from Friday night.
The proposed restrictions are linked to the planned CJP demonstration scheduled for Saturday. The police have indicated that the measures could remain in place until normal conditions are restored.
For commuters, the request could affect access to several busy stations across multiple metro lines. Travellers should check the latest official DMRC announcements before starting their journeys, as the final arrangements may depend on the security situation.

CJP Plans Protest Against Chief Election Commissioner
The Cockroach Janta Party has announced a demonstration against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on October 10.
CJP is a youth-led protest movement that previously organised a sit-in in the capital over an alleged paper leak involving the national medical entrance examination. The earlier agitation was followed by the resignation of then Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in July, according to the supplied report.
The upcoming demonstration has brought security arrangements in central Delhi into focus, particularly around locations expected to attract large gatherings.
Police Raises Concern Over Late Permission Application
According to the police, an application seeking permission for the CJP protest was received on October 7, just three days before the planned demonstration.
Officials reportedly pointed out that protest permission applications are required to be submitted at least 10 days in advance under the applicable rules. The short notice has therefore become another issue in the preparations for Saturday’s gathering.
The final arrangements for the protest and any associated restrictions will depend on the decisions of the relevant authorities.

What Should Metro Passengers Do?
Passengers travelling on October 9 and 10 should plan ahead if their journeys involve central Delhi or any of the listed stations. It is advisable to check DMRC’s official updates for confirmed closures, interchange arrangements and possible changes to train frequency.
Those travelling to offices, railway stations, hospitals or other important destinations should allow extra time and consider alternative routes if restrictions are confirmed.
The proposed closures are security-related measures requested ahead of the CJP protest. The final operational status of individual stations should be confirmed through official announcements rather than assumed from the preliminary list.
