New Delhi: On Friday, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) issued a notification declaring that three Yellow Line Metro stations namely, Vishwavidyalaya, Civil Lines and Vidhan Sabha will remain shut for the public from 10 am to 2 pm on Saturday as advised by Delhi Police in view of security reasons.

Delhi Metro’s announcement comes in the wake of a march called by farmers on June 26. Earlier on Thursday, Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) leader Yogendra Yadav had announced that they will stage a nationwide protest march on June 26 to mark the completion of the agitation against the Centre’s three farm laws.

A spokesperson of the Bhartiya Kisan Union told the media that, ‘Farmers are gathering again in large numbers at the Ghazipur border’ in a show of strength. Since November 25, farmers have protested to repeal the three central farm laws.
