On New Year’s Day, the Delhi Metro took precautionary measures to manage the massive crowds flocking to popular attractions such as India Gate and Connaught Place. Due to the overwhelming number of visitors, the Metro authorities restricted entry at certain stations to prevent overcrowding and ensure public safety. These steps were implemented as part of the city’s strategy to manage the surge in people celebrating the first day of the year.
The restrictions were enforced at key Metro stations that serve as gateways to major landmarks, which were expected to draw large crowds for the New Year’s celebrations. By limiting access and increasing surveillance, authorities aimed to ensure the safe and orderly movement of passengers. Additional personnel were deployed across stations to assist commuters and maintain crowd control.
This measure reflects the ongoing efforts by the Delhi Metro to prioritize the safety of passengers, especially during high-traffic events and public holidays. It also underscores the growing importance of efficient crowd management strategies in large urban centers.
