Namo Bharat, Meerut Metro parking shut August 14-15 for security
There are special trains called Namo Bharat and Meerut Metro that help people travel in the Delhi-Meerut area.
Before a big holiday called Independence Day, the people who run these trains decided to close the parking places at the train stations.
They are closing the parking on August 14 and 15 to keep everyone safe.
The trains themselves will still run just like normal on August 15.
That means people can still ride the trains, but they cannot park their cars or bikes at the station.
Grown-ups will have to find another way to get to the station.
The station parking areas were cleared starting Thursday so no vehicles stay there for a long time.
The train company told passengers about this through signs and a phone app.
So if you want to take the train, ask your parents to plan how to drop you off and pick you up.
NCRTC will close station parking at Namo Bharat and Meerut Metro stations on August 14 and 15.
The closure was ordered for security reasons ahead of Independence Day, according to NCRTC Chief Public Relations Officer Puneet Vats.
Train services will continue to operate as usual on August 15 despite the parking closure.
Vehicles were barred from being parked for long durations from Thursday to clear the facilities ahead of the closure.
Passengers were informed via notices at parking locations and the NCRTC mobile app, and must make alternate arrangements to reach stations.
