Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will not permit passengers to exit from the Rajiv Chowk Station after 9 PM on 31 December, India Today reports. The DMRC issued the advisory in view of the rush and high-security measures on new year’s eve.
However, the DMRC will allow passengers to enter into the Rajiv Chowk Metro Station after 9 PM to board their trains, and the exit for passengers at the station will only be blocked on 31 December 2018.
The DMRC, in its statement, said, “As advised by Delhi Police authorities, exit of passengers from the Rajiv Chowk metro station will not be permitted from 9 pm onwards on New Year's Eve, i.e. 31 December. This is to enable the authorities to maintain peace, and law and order during New Year Eve's celebrations in New Delhi district area.”
The Rajiv Chowk station is one of the busiest stations in Delhi Metro and caters to both the Blue and Yellow Lines. The statement adds that the interchange facility between the blue and yellow lines - Line 2 (HUDA City Centre Samaypur Badli) and Line 3/4 (Dwarka Sec-21 NOIDA City Centre/Vaishali) will be working as usual. “Services at all other metro corridors and stations will continue normally,” the statement said.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
