New Delhi: Three Metro stations - Rajiv Chowk, Barakhamba Road and Patel Chowk - will shut down early at 7.30 pm on New Year's Eve, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said on Sunday.
Travellers will not be allowed to enter or leave the three stations because of security restrictions for New Year celebrations, the DMRC said in a statement. Tickets will not be sold at these stations after 7.15 pm.
Passengers on the HUDA City Centre-Jahangirpuri and Dwarka-Noida City Centre/Vaishali routes will be able to interchange stations at Rajiv Chowk till 11 pm.
All other stations on the Delhi Metro network will function as usual.
Rajiv Chowk and Barakhamba Road are two of the busiest Metro stations and have a footfall of thousands every day.
While the New Year's Eve restrictions are usual, 10 Metro stations have been out of bounds for several days in the last two weeks because of protests against the gang-rape of a 23-year-old medical student in Delhi.
Travellers will not be allowed to enter or leave the three stations because of security restrictions for New Year celebrations, the DMRC said in a statement. Tickets will not be sold at these stations after 7.15 pm.
Passengers on the HUDA City Centre-Jahangirpuri and Dwarka-Noida City Centre/Vaishali routes will be able to interchange stations at Rajiv Chowk till 11 pm.
