New Delhi, October 9: The Supreme Court has said that there should be no complete ban on Metro services ahead of the protests scheduled for October 10 and has asked the authorities to regulate the movement of passengers and commuters.
The court’s direction comes amid preparations for the planned protests, with concerns over public movement and the need to maintain normal transport services. Instead of shutting down the entire Metro network, the authorities have been asked to take suitable measures to manage the situation.
Metro services are an important means of transport for thousands of daily commuters. A complete shutdown could cause inconvenience to passengers, including office-goers, students and other travellers.
The authorities are expected to regulate passenger movement and take necessary steps to maintain public order while ensuring that commuters face minimum disruption.The court’s direction aims to balance security requirements with the need to keep public transport services running during the protests.
