Why It Matters: The temporary closure of Gate No 8 could potentially disrupt the daily commute of thousands of passengers who rely on the Rajiv Chowk Metro Station, one of the busiest metro stations in Delhi. This comes after the DMRC had to shut down the entry and exit at the Yamuna Bank Metro station last week due to floods. However, it was reopened after the water level in the Yamuna dropped.
