After the arrest of CM Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi's ITO Metro station is set to remain closed today until 6 pm, as per an advisory by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). The closure, advised by the Delhi Police, is in effect from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm on March 22, 2024.
The temporary closure of the ITO Metro station is reportedly due to a planned protest organized by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The protest is scheduled to take place in front of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters, located near the ITO Metro station on Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Marg.




AAP Protest 


The protest by AAP comes in response to the recent arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the city's excise policy case. The AAP has called for a nationwide protest against Kejriwal's arrest, with demonstrations set to begin around 10 am.
In anticipation of the protest, Delhi Police has deployed barricades and increased personnel in the ITO area. This is part of efforts to manage the situation and ensure public safety during the demonstration.
