On Saturday, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced that Metro services will be resumed in the national capital for the general public from Monday, June 7 with only 50 percent seating capacity. The decrease in the daily cases of coronavirus patients in Delhi led to the announcement of relaxations for various activities within the capital.
DMRC released a tweet in which it clearly mentioned that “DMRC Services Update. In the wake of revised guidelines issued today by the Govt. of NCT of Delhi; on the extension of curfew in Delhi for the containment of COVID-19, the Delhi Metro services will be resumed for the general public from 7th June 2021 with 50% seating capacity only.”
