The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced on Thursday that the Lal Quila Metro Station will remain closed until further notice due to security concerns. The decision comes amid heightened security measures in the national capital following a recent car blast near the Red Fort. According to DMRC officials, both entry and exit at the Lal Quila station have been temporarily suspended, and services will not resume until security agencies grant clearance. In an official statement, DMRC said, “The Lal Quila Metro Station will stay closed till further notice due to security reasons. All other metro stations and lines are operating as per schedule.”

Located on the Violet Line, the Lal Quila station serves as a key gateway to major landmarks such as the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and Chandni Chowk. The closure is expected to inconvenience daily commuters and tourists, especially during peak hours and weekends. Security personnel have been deployed in and around the Red Fort area, and additional checks are being conducted at nearby metro stations as a precautionary measure. Officials said the move is intended to ensure the safety of passengers and the general public.

Commuters have been advised to plan their travel accordingly and use nearby operational stations such as Jama Masjid, Delhi Gate, and Kashmere Gate. Authorities have not provided a timeline for the reopening but assured that normal metro services at Lal Quila Station will resume once the security situation has been reviewed and deemed safe.
