Lokpal Bill row: Delhi Metro stations closed to prevent protests at PM's House


New Delhi:  Worried about Anna Hazare's supporters demonstrating outside the home of the Prime Minister this afternoon, four metro stations in the capital have been shut.

The stations are:  Udyog Bhawan, Race Course, Jor Bagh (on Line-2 i.e, HUDA City Centre to Jahangirpuri) and Khan Market.

Anna is on the tenth day of his hunger fast at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan.  His team had asked the public to protest outside Dr Manmohan Singh's residence at 7 Race Course Road.  Anna and his associates want the government to withdraw its version of the anti-corruption Lokpal Bill and instead, introduce Anna's draft in Parliament.
