A DMRC spokesman said the stations remained open throughout the day after Delhi Police revised their advisory.

Six busy Metro stations in central Delhi were announced to remain close for 10 hours today as a precautionary measure following the call by Kejriwal to gherao residences of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and BJP chief Nitin Gadkari.

Central Secretariat, Udyog Bhawan, Patel Chowk, Race Course, Jor Bagh and Khan Market stations falling near and around the residences of Singh and Gadkari were to remain close from 8 am to 6 pm. Delhi Metro had taken the decision to close down the stations, five of which fall on the Gurgaon Line, after instructions from Delhi Police.

 

But after Kejriwal and five others were detained it was decided that the stations would be opened, the DMRC spokesman said.
