Delhi Metro service disruptions continue as 17 stations remain closed for the third consecutive day amid CJP-led protests in the city, according to DMRC. Business Line and India Today report that station closures are in effect on Friday as the protests persist. The Hindu adds that the closures cover 17 stations, and specifies that interchange facilities are not fully shut down. DMRC states that interchange options remain available at Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House and Central Secretariat stations, allowing passengers to transfer lines even as some station access is suspended. The outlets describe the closures as a response to the ongoing protest activity, rather than planned maintenance. Across reports, the common theme is that commuters face reduced access due to the closures, while key interchange hubs continue to operate for transfers. The situation is presented as evolving, with DMRC keeping service arrangements aligned with the protest conditions on the ground.
