New Delhi, December 19: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Thursday said that trains will not halt at Jamia Millia Islamia, Jasola Vihar, Shaheen Bagh and Munirka stations. The DMRC did not cite any reason for the closure of metro stations. However, it is likely that the stations were shut in view of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 in the national capital, especially at Jamia Millia Islamia University. Citizenship Act 1955 - Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 Full Text: Know Two Laws About Indian Citizenship.
