Ahead of the high-level G20 Summit, scheduled to be held at the sprawling Bharat Mandapam at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi this week, the Delhi Metro has issued an advisory for commuters. According to the Delhi Metro Police, the entry and exit gates of some sensitive stations will remain closed from September 8 to 10.
However, during this period, passengers can continue to use one or two gates at some stations, while other routes will continue to operate normally, the police said.
“In order to maintain foolproof security arrangements during the G20 Summit, scheduled to be held in Delhi from September 9 to 10, the Delhi Police metro unit asked the Chief Security Commissioner to close some metro station gates that open towards the VVIPS Route/venue of Summit/Place, from September 8 to 10,” the order read.
