Pragati Maidan, Mandi House, Patel Chowk, Central Secretariat, Udyog Bhawan, Khan Market and Race Course will remain closed tomorrow as well.

However, Barakhamba Road which was closed today will remain open.

The closing of stations came following a direction from Delhi Police.

"The stations will remain closed till DMRC gets further orders from the Delhi Police. However, interchange will be allowed at Central Secretariat station," DMRC officials said.

The decision was taken after protests over the gangrape of a young girl erupted in Raisina Hill, the seat of power.
