Delhi Metro services were suspended for more than five months due to the forced lockdown by coronavirus. The Metro opened its doors to travelers on Monday with the restricted operation of the Yellow Line. The Home Office had recently issued guidelines allowing the Delhi Metro to resume operations in a phased manner, after which the DMRC had said it would be done in three stages from September 7 to 12.
As part of the first stage, the Yellow Line and the Rapid Metro were put into operation with restricted hours. On Wednesday, the trains began running on the blue and pink lines.
The list of doors that will remain open for passenger entry at each station along with updates are available on the official website of the Delhi Metro, www.delhimetrorail.com.
