New Delhi: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Sunday decided not to halt trains at four stations on its Magenta line, following the incidents of violence amid protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in the national capital today evening. DMRC informed the same via a tweet saying, "Entry and exit gates of Sukhdev Vihar, Jamia Millia Islamia, Okhla Vihar and Jasola Vihar Shaheen Bagh are closed. Trains will not be halting at these stations."

In an earlier tweet, the DMRC had said that "as advised by Delhi Police, entry and exit gates of Sukhdev Vihar and Gate No. 3 of Ashram have been closed. Trains will not be halting at Sukhdev Vihar." Three Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses were set on fire near Bharat Nagar area as demonstrations against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in the national capital turned violent.

Huge plumes of smoke were seen billowing out of the buses as flames engulfed them. Protestors also vandalised a fire tender that was sent to douse the fire and also injured two firemen inside the vehicle. "One fire tender, rushed to douse the bus fire, was stopped and damaged by the students. Two firemen were also injured," said Delhi Fire Service (DFS) director Atul Garg.
