Delhi Metro Rail Corporation issued a revised service update before a planned October 10 protest at Jantar Mantar, closing entry and exit at 45 stations from 9 pm on October 9 until 6 pm on October 10. The restriction applies to station access; the checked official wording does not announce a complete shutdown of the Metro network.

An earlier update had listed 57 stations. DMRC described the revised notice as a partial modification and said interchange would remain available at the affected stations except New Delhi. Authorities said the arrangements could be reviewed according to security conditions, so commuters were asked to check fresh official updates before travelling.

The revised list covers important central and connecting stations, including Janpath, Central Secretariat, Rajiv Chowk, New Delhi, Mandi House, ITO and Jama Masjid, as well as Jamia Millia Islamia and several stations in north and east Delhi. The measure affects access at the listed stations rather than every station or every train across the system.

Delhi Traffic Police separately issued an advisory saying traffic could be regulated or diverted at 30 locations from 6 am on October 10 depending on the law-and-order situation. It advised commuters to allow extra time and avoid non-essential travel in affected parts of central Delhi. The road advisory and the Metro access restrictions are separate measures.

The Cockroach Janta Party and student groups called the protest to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over disputed voter-roll revisions. Delhi Police said the gathering had not received permission. Reuters has reported that the Election Commission and the BJP deny opposition allegations of electoral manipulation.

This report records the revised transport and traffic arrangements that were publicly announced; it does not treat the protesters’ political allegations as established findings, or determine whether the restrictions were legally necessary or proportionate. No checked source established that the revised access restrictions targeted Muslims or any religious community, and no religious motive is inferred.
