6 Delhi metro stations to remain closed on Sunday

Service at six metro stations - Patel Chowk, Central Secretariat, Udyog Bhawan, Jor Bagh, Race Course and Khan Market - will be suspended from 8 am to 6 pm on Sunday in view erstwhile Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal's rally.
The Gurgaon-Jahangirpuri line will be most affected due to the closure of the stations. Services to the Central Secretariat-Badarpur line will also be affected.

The precautionary step has been taken following a call by erstwhile Team Anna to gherao residences of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and BJP chief Nitin Gadkari over the coal block allocation issue.
Central Secretariat, Udyog Bhawan, Patel Chowk, Race Course, Jor Bagh and Khan Market stations will remain closed from 8 am to 6 pm on Sunday, a Delhi Metro spokesman said.
However, interchange of passengers from Line 2 to Line 6 will be allowed at Central Secretariat station.
The spokesman said the decision was taken as per directions received from the Delhi Police.
The stations fall near and close to the residences of Prime Minister and Gadkari.
Accusing Congress and BJP of having hand-in-glove on the coal block allocation issue, social activist Arvind Kejriwal had on Thursday announced gherao of the residences of Singh and Gadkari.
"Congress and BJP have got together to loot Rs 1.86 lakh crore in coal scam. (There will be) gherao of Prime Minister's and Nitin Gadkari's residences. Let us assemble at Jantar Mantar on August 26 (at) 10 am," activist Arvind Kejriwal had tweeted on Thursday.
