Delhi: In a move to ensure public safety and manage the large crowds expected on New Year’s Eve, Delhi Police have announced restrictions on the Rajiv Chowk Metro Station. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) informed about the same through a post on their X handle.
On December 31, exit from the Rajiv Chowk Metro Station will be prohibited starting from 9 PM. However, passengers will be allowed to enter until the departure of the last train.
Starting from 9:00 PM on December 31, 2024, exit from the station will be prohibited, though passengers can still enter until the last train departs.
