The DMRC is also writing to appropriate authorities for maintenance of law and order outside Metro stations to handle the extra rush as the Metro services resume once again from Monday in the ongoing pandemic scenario.The Delhi Metro services were suspended on May 10 in view of a surge in COVID-19 cases in the second wave of the pandemic.The national capital has been under lockdown since April 19 after COVID cases started soaring. After the lockdown, the daily count of cases in Delhi has seen a steady decline over the last few days, along with a drop in the positivity rate.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
