In the wake of the recent guidelines issued by the Delhi Disaster Management Authority, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced that Metro trains in Delhi will now be running with 100 per cent seating and standing capacity.
The DMRC has said that all gates of metro stations will be open to facilitate passenger entry throughout the day. “However, passengers are advised to follow Covid appropriate behaviour for their own and everyone’s safety," DMRC said.
The decision to operate full capacity comes amid the state government’s decision to lift the night curfew and all Covid-induced restrictions in the national capital, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) had said on Friday.
