@OfficialDMRC You should provide a note to all the passengers stating that The DMRC is responsible for the delay or inconvenience caused. It would be helpful for at least Students and Working employees.

Atleast @OfficialDMRC should have informed at every station that metro will go till Sultanpur only on yellow line. Heavy crowd and jam there#delhimetro

@OfficialDMRC should see the plight of passengers outside the sultanpur metro. Because of unplanned maintenance and not being able to do it in scheduled time people are suffering. Obviously it’s India so no one is answerable. #delhimetro

India4 min ago

Protests in Ladakh turned violent as students and youth organisations demanded statehood and Sixth Schedule status. Two elderly protesters fainted, prompting a shutdown call. A BJP office and security vehicle were set on fire. Activist Sonam Wangchuk urged for a peaceful approach. The demand for Sixth Schedule status is due to Ladakh's tribal-majority population and direct central administration.
