The shutdown comes on the foutyh day of the Parliament’s Monsoon Session as all sixteen metro stations sit in the close vicinity of Jantar Mantar and the Parliament complex. The demonstrations trace back to June, when the protest began at Jantar Mantar over an alleged paper leak in the NEET-UG 2026 examination, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The movement gained national traction after activist Sonam Wangchuk joined the protest site in late June and launched an indefinite hunger strike.
