NSUI activists halt Metro over pass for DU students
Thirteen activists were detained and brought to Kashmere Gate Metro police station.
NEW DELHI: Members of National Student Union of India, a students wing of the Congress, halted a Delhi Metro train at Vishvidhyalya Metro Station raising the demand of Metro concession pass for Delhi University students on Monday.
They alleged that while Prime Minister Narender Modi is going to inaugurate Metro in Ahmedabad on Monday, the Delhi Metro is costliest in BJP government’s tenure. Around 10-15 members of the NSUI jumped on the tracks and raised anti-Modi and anti-Kejriwal slogans. They were also demanding metro passes for DU students.
According to DMRC, protesters jumped on the tracks at the Vishwavidyalaya Metro station at around 12.26 pm and stopped a train. The members of the students wing of the Congress were swiftly removed from the tracks and handed over to police at 12.48 pm. Train services were regulated and were running normally on the entire Yellow line, they said.
Thirteen protesters were detained and brought to Kashmere Gate Metro police station for interrogation.
