New Delhi: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has closed entry and exit at 16 major Metro stations in the capital due to security reasons. The restrictions will remain in place until further orders.
Passengers will not be allowed to enter or leave the Metro network through these stations during this period.
Interchange facilities, however, will continue at Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House and Central Secretariat. This means passengers already travelling on the Metro will be able to change trains or switch lines at these stations, but they will not be permitted to enter or exit the station premises.

Entry and exit have been closed at the following stations:
- Lok Kalyan Marg
- Rajiv Chowk

Interchange Allowed at Three Stations
Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House and Central Secretariat will continue to function as interchange points.
Passengers travelling within the Metro network can change trains at these stations. However, the entry and exit gates will remain closed, and commuters will not be allowed to leave or access the stations from outside.
Passengers Advised to Plan Their Journey
The temporary closure may affect passengers whose starting point or destination is one of the 16 stations listed above. Such commuters may need to use a nearby operational station.
Passengers have been advised to check their route before beginning their journey and plan accordingly.
Restrictions to Continue Until Further Orders
No fixed timeline has been announced for reopening the affected stations. The restrictions will remain in force until further instructions are issued.
