Diljit Dosanjh concert: Delhi Metro services will run till midnight on October 30 to facilitate spectators, while traffic curbs will remain in place around Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium from 1pm to midnight

The Delhi Metro Corporation announced that all lines serving the city will operate until midnight on October 30, a departure from the usual closing time of 11 pm. The decision was taken to ease the movement of thousands of concertgoers expected at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium for the popular Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh’s performance. Additional staff will be deployed at key stations, and extra trains will run on the Yellow and Red lines to manage the surge in passenger numbers.

City officials have also maintained traffic curbs around the stadium area from 1 pm to midnight. The restrictions include the closure of certain arterial roads and the redirection of private vehicles to designated parking zones. Police and traffic personnel will be on the ground to guide drivers and ensure that emergency routes remain clear. Public transport options such as buses and auto‑rickshaws have been increased to provide alternatives for those who cannot use the metro.

For residents of Delhi, the extended metro service and traffic measures aim to reduce congestion and improve safety during a high‑profile event. The city’s transport department advises commuters to plan their journeys in advance, avoid unnecessary trips, and use the metro wherever possible. The coordinated effort reflects the city’s growing experience in handling large gatherings while minimizing disruption to daily life.
