Travelers in Delhi are encountering significant disruptions as the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has declared the temporary shutdown of 18 metro stations in response to security measures surrounding the ongoing Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar.

DMRC has stated that the affected stations will be closed from 7:30 am until further notice. Passengers will be unable to enter or exit these stations, although interchange services will still be accessible at Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House, and Central Secretariat.

Additionally, DMRC has implemented changes to the Airport Express Line; train services will only operate between Dhaula Kuan and Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25.
The 18 metro stations affected and remaining closed until further notice include Lok Kalyan Marg, Rajiv Chowk, Patel Chowk, Ramakrishna Ashram Marg, Barakhambha Road, Supreme Court, Seva Teerth, Janpath, Mandi House, Central Secretariat, ITO, Delhi Gate, Indraprastha, Khan Market, Jor Bagh, Shivaji Stadium, Jhandewalan, and New Delhi.

After weeks of protests, CJP representatives Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das engaged in discussions with Union Ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh. During this meeting, CJP requested ₹1 crore in compensation for families affected by suicides following the cancellation of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). The party also reiterated that the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan is a non-negotiable demand.

The meeting took place at Vithalbhai Patel House and lasted approximately two hours. Following the discussions, government officials indicated they would take 24 hours to determine their next steps.
