DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) will run over 600 extra train trips in the span of next two days to cope with the extra rush of commuters expected on the festive occasion of Raksha Bandhan. The DMRC will also deploy additional staff to cater to people and handle the increased load on its resources. The festival falls on Sunday.
‘Delhi Metro has decided to run over 190 extra train trips on August 9 and 419 extra trips on ‘Raksha Bandhan’ on 10 August and will deploy additional personnel to cater to the extra rush of commuters expected on these two days,’ DMRC Executive Director (Corporate Communication) Anuj Dayal said.
This decision was taken in view of high ridership observed by Delhi Metro on the eve of Raksha Bandhan and the day itself for the past few years, Dayal said.
The Delhi Metro will deploy 70 additional shifts of guards/Customer Facilitation Agents at 42 major stations to help and guide commuters on these two days.
Meanwhile, women in Delhi will be able to avail free travelling facilities in buses operated by DTC
on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan.
