Check-in begins at Jantar Mantar as CJP protest ends; Delhi Metro Internet Services Fully Restored | Today’s news
Check-in operations were underway at Jantar Mantar on Sunday morning, a day after the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) called off its agitation following Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation as Union Home Minister, according to ANI.
The barricades were removed and security personnel were clearing the protest site.
Metro operation resumed
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced that all stations across its network have resumed normal operations, with both entry and exit gates open for passengers.
“Service Update: All stations of the Delhi Metro network are open (inbound and outbound) for passenger traffic,” DMRC said in a post on X.
The move ended days of security restrictions and rolling closures at 18 key stations, including Rajiv Chowk, Central Secretariat, Mandi House, ITO, New Delhi, Patel Chowk, Janpath and Lok Kalyan Marg, which disrupted commuting during the protests.
CJP withdraws protest
Mobile internet services were also restored in Jantar Mantar and adjoining parts of central Delhi after authorities lifted restrictions imposed during the youth-led agitation.
The CJP on Saturday said it was withdrawing the protest “in good faith” after receiving assurances from the Center on its key demands.
“The Janta Party cockroach declares that we are withdrawing the agitation in good faith with the agreed terms to be fulfilled within the agreed dates,” CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das said.
The protest culminated in the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan after more than a month of demonstrations, including a 26-day hunger strike by activist Sonam Wangchuk.
According to the CJP, the Center has agreed to provide suitable compensation to the families of NEET aspirants who died by suicide and has ensured withdrawal of FIRs registered against protesters across the country.
Pralhad Joshi appointed new education minister
Union Minister JP Nadda said the government has accepted the demands discussed during the examination reforms talks and will examine the organization’s five-point charter before taking further steps.
Pralhad Joshi has been given additional charge by the Ministry of Education.
After taking charge, Joshi thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for giving him the responsibility.
“I thank the Prime Minister for giving me such a huge responsibility… Under his guidance and leadership, I will carry out this responsibility with complete humility, honesty and dedication,” Joshi told PTI.
