Delhi unlocking: AIIMS doctor has a word of caution for metro services

As Delhi Metro is all set to resume its services after being completely shut since May 10, AIIMS doctor Naveet Wig said the transporter should be extra cautious in reopening as the situation will again reverse to where it was if the reopening is rushed.

Metro services will resume from June 7 in a graded approach. Services will first resume with 50 per cent searing capacity and standing will not be allowed. Only half of the available trains will be inducted into the service on Monday. The full strength of trains will be pressed into service in a graded manner by Wednesday.

The peak of the second wave of the pandemic in the Capital has gradually subsided but experts have already warned that this is only due to the restrictions that were maintained in the last 50 days. As the unlocking process is also starting in NCR, it is time to be on guard, experts have advised.
