Protests were planned for October 10, 2024, led by the CPI(M) and other groups demanding the removal of Election Commissioner G.K. Gupta.
Delhi Police instructed the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to close fifty‑seven stations. The order specified that the closures would begin at 9 a.m., with entry and exit barred at the designated stations.
The stations selected for closure were spread across central, north, south, east, and north‑east Delhi, including Rajiv Chowk, Patel Chowk, and ITO.

The Delhi Police also requested the cancellation of local train services at New Delhi station and Hazrat Nizamuddin station from 4 a.m. until 2 p.m.
These steps were intended to prevent large crowds from gathering.
Other groups also joined the call for action alongside the CPI(M).
