“What is the use of the Vishwavidyalaya metro station if students can’t access it? We demand the rollback of the fare hike and concessional passes for students,” a student called Kaur told the Indian Express.

The students, organised with the All India Student Association shouted slogans such as mehengi metro nahi chalegi” (costly metro will not be allowed), “paee paee occupy (occupy every inch)”, and “rollback rollback, metro fare rollback”.
