    What's the story

    The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Tuesday revised its operational plan for the six-day lockdown period and increased the frequency of metro trains from 30 minutes to 15 minutes during peak hours.

    For the rest of the hours of the day, the frequency was increased from 60 minutes to 30 minutes. It also increased the city metro's operation timing during the peak hours.

    Information

    These are the peak hours

    On Monday, the DMRC said that services during the lockdown period for peak hours -- morning (8:00 am to 10:00 am) and evening (5:00 pm to 7:00 pm) -- across the network will be available with a frequency of 30 minutes

    Details

    DMRC earlier closed several entry points to ensure social distancing

    DMRC said, "To offer more capacity in compliance to 50 percent seating provision with no standing to eligible people traveling by metro during the curfew period, which is imposed in NCT of Delhi till 5:00 am of April 26, 2021, the DMRC has now decided to revise its operational plan with immediate effect."

    Earlier today, DMRC closed several metro-entry points to ensure social distancing.

    Quote

    DMRC tweeted about temporarily closed metro stations

    "Entry for the following stations have been temporarily closed to ensure social distancing as part of our crowd control measures: Jhandewalan, RK Ashram Marg, Karkardooma, Preet Vihar, Nirman Vihar, Supreme Court, Anand Vihar, ISBT, Vaishali," the DMRC said in a series of tweets.

    Lockdown

    Essential services will continue during the lockdown

    While imposing the week-long curfew, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had said, "If we do not impose a lockdown, we might be staring at a disaster. It is absolutely vital to impose a lockdown."

    He announced a lockdown from 10 pm on Monday till 5 am next Monday (April 26).

    Essential services will continue during the lockdown.

    Information

    Metro services can be availed after presenting valid identity proof

    Metro services can be availed only by the exempted category of people on presenting valid identity proof. Kejriwal had announced a six-day lockdown in Delhi to deal with the rising COVID-19 cases as the city's health system was stretched to its limits.
