Why is My Metro Station Closed?

Why Are Protests Happening at Jantar Mantar
Thousands of students have gathered at Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak. Agitation formed shortly after the announcement of the cancellation of the NEET UG 2026 exam, which was held in May 2026. The exam paper was leaked, and the ministry decided to cancel the exam and conduct a re-exam on June 21, 2026.
The protests intensified on July 20 and 21 when protesters marched towards the Parliament with their demands. They were met with brut police force and RPF officers charging against the protestors.
Metro stations were closed on Wednesday for eight hours due to security reasons amidst the protest, leaving commoners and other passengers stranded. The stations reopened only in the evening.
Commuters have voiced their displeasure at the events, stating that many had to travel beyond their destination and travel back to their office by road. The gathering of protestors also caused confusion and chaos for normal office goers at stations closer to Jantar Mantar.
