Protests Disrupt Delhi; Metro Stations Closed Amid 'Cockroach Party' March
Hundreds of commuters faced disruption as Delhi Metro closed five stations during a march by the 'Cockroach Party'. The party's founder was reportedly picked up by police, though conflicting reports later stated he was not detained or arrested. Protest leaders were scheduled to hold talks with Union Minister JP Nadda, who reportedly promised discussions on their demands. Separately, activist Sonam Wangchuk stated he would end his fast if the Centre assured no action against students.
