The Delhi Metro network has been put on 'high alert' in the wake of revocation of Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, and the forthcoming Independence Day celebrations, officials said on Monday.

A fresh advisory has been issued, over an existing one, to ensure that no untoward incident takes place in the mass-rapid rail network that runs across the National Capital Region and carries lakhs of commuters everyday, the security officials said.

In a tweet from its official handle, the Delhi Metro Rail Network (DMRC) said: "As advised by security agencies, a red alert has been imposed on the entire DMRC network. Please allow extra time in security checks."
