DMRC has announced revised Delhi Metro timings for August 15 owing to the Independence Day 2023 celebrations in the national capital tomorrow.
As Delhi Police has put up barricading and issued traffic advisories for August 15 due to the Independence Day 2023 celebrations in the national capita, the timings for the Delhi Metro on Tuesday have also been revised, as notified by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).
DMRC recently put out an advisory to inform everyone in the Delhi NCR region about the revised routes and timings of the Delhi Metro services for August 15, to facilitate those who will be attending the Independence Day 2023 celebrations at the Red Fort tomorrow morning.
Announcing the same via Twitter, the DMRC wrote, “To facilitate passengers to attend the Independence Day ceremony on 15th August 2023 (Tuesday), Delhi Metro train services on all Lines will start from 5AM from all terminal stations. The trains will run with a frequency of 30 minutes on all the Lines till 6AM.”
While the Delhi Metro services will be starting at 5 am on August 15, the DMRC has announced that parking services at the metro station will not be available on Independence Day 2023.
The Delhi Metro authority said, “Parking facilities will NOT BE AVAILABLE at stations from 6AM on 14/08/2023 till 2PM on 15/08/2023 in view of security measures adopted on the occasion. However, train services will continue per normal schedule.”
The Delhi Police has increased checkpoints and barricading near the central Delhi area and 10,000 additional security personnel have been deployed in the national capital to maintain safety during the Independence Day 2023 celebrations tomorrow at the Red Fort.
