Entry, exit gates of 5 metro stations near India Gate closed

Massive traffic snarls were witnessed in Delhi on Wednesday as protesters gathered at India Gate and Connaught Place for New Year celebrations to take a mass pledge to oppose the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Entry and exit gates of five Delhi Metro stations were closed in the evening to ease rush of passengers.

"Entry & exit gates of Central Secretariat, Udyog Bhawan, Pragati Maidan, Khan Market and Mandi House are closed. Interchange is available at Central Secretariat and Mandi House," the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) tweeted.
