Restrictions had earlier been imposed amid heightened security around the protest site.

In Short

• All Delhi Metro stations reopened for entry and exit
• Entry gates at key stations reopened after Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation
• Protest ended following Union Minister's resignation

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Sunday announced that all stations across the Delhi Metro network had reopened for passenger services, with both entry and exit gates operational.

“All stations of the Delhi Metro network are open (both entry and exit) for passenger services,” the DMRC said in a post on X.

The announcement came a day after the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) officially called off its protest at Jantar Mantar following the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

The DMRC had earlier announced on Saturday evening that entry gates at all metro stations had reopened. The temporary restrictions had been imposed as part of security arrangements around Jantar Mantar and adjoining areas during the protest.

Earlier on Saturday, entry gates at Rajiv Chowk, Mandi House and Central Secretariat stations were reopened around 4 pm, shortly after Pradhan's resignation. The three stations had witnessed restricted entry and exit over the past few days amid heightened security near the protest site.

Authorities had issued several service advisories in response to developments around Jantar Mantar. The DMRC had earlier temporarily closed 16 key stations, including Janpath, Rajiv Chowk, Patel Chowk and Central Secretariat, amid the CJP protest in central Delhi.
