DMRC replied to the Supreme Court on Thursday, asserting that 271 trains ran on October 10, with a full 4,157 scheduled trips completed despite protests.
The corporation added that 85% of the network stayed open and only minimal restrictions were imposed, with 14 of 45 stations maintaining uninterrupted interchange.
Commuters were offered alternate routes where stations were closed; a 75‑year‑old woman from South Delhi said she reached her workplace because an express line was rerouted.
The opposition and Cockroach Janata Party called for a citywide strike on October 10, leading to temporary station closures, but DMRC’s claim counters allegations of service halts to appease demonstrators.
The Supreme Court case, filed by the Delhi High Court earlier this month, will examine the protest‑related disruption allegations, and DMRC will present detailed operational logs during the hearing.
