The Story in Brief
Delhi Metro will start services at 4am from all terminal stations on Saturday for Independence Day, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced. Trains will run at 30-minute intervals until regular services begin. The move helps movement of special guests, invitees and the general public attending the event at the Red Fort, DMRC said.
The Indian Opinion
Rumours of Delhi Metro cutting or delaying services for security reasons are false. The DMRC is actually starting early, at 4am, with 30-minute frequency until normal service. The defence ministry reimburses the cost of 1,30,000 special QR tickets for invitees. This is practical coordination, not a curfew. The test for smooth execution will be whether the queue at Lal Qila, Jama Masjid and Delhi Gate stations clears by the 8am flag hoisting.
