Passengers should check the latest metro updates before leaving home. The restrictions do not automatically mean that every metro service across Delhi will stop completely.

Indian Railways has also announced changes to train services. Mail and Express trains scheduled to arrive at New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway stations between 4 AM and 2 PM on Saturday, October 10, have been affected by the cancellations.

The decision was taken because of the possibility of heavy traffic around the two major railway stations. Officials are concerned that passengers may face problems finding taxis and other transport after reaching Delhi.

Several important trains, including the Howrah-New Delhi Rajdhani Express and the Sealdah-New Delhi Rajdhani Express, have been cancelled. Some other trains have also been cancelled or rescheduled.

The restrictions come ahead of the planned October 10 protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The Delhi Police has denied permission for the demonstration, citing concerns over the conditions required for the event.

Security arrangements have been strengthened across the capital to prevent possible disturbances. So for Delhi people, it is better to cross check all the information before planning anything today or tomorrow.
