Farmers' protest: Metro Grey, Green lines completely shut


New Delhi, Jan 26 (IANS): After closing all the stations on the Green line at noon on Tuesday, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has now shuttered all stations on the Grey line as well, in the wake of the farmers' tractor rally running amok in the national capital.

Besides these, a few stations on Yellow, Blue, Red and Violet lines are also closed. Violet line's Lal Qila and Jama Masjid stations, Blue line's Indraprastha station and Red line's Jhilmil and Mansarovar Park stations have also been shut.

Thousands of tractors rolled into Delhi even as the 72nd Republic Day parade was underway. Vandalism was reported from ITO where the Police Headquarters are situated as the police was caught completely unaware.
