The development follows as the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) had announced a day earlier about the closure of 45 metro stations in the national capital in a bid to prevent any law and order situation. The previous decision of closure of 57 railway stations got revoked following an immediate rap by the Supreme Court.

Alongside, over 200 trains coming into or originating from Delhi have been cancelled or rescheduled by four railway zones, such as Western Railway, Central Railway, Northern Railway and North-Western Railway.
