Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday appealed to people to follow Covid-appropriate behaviour amid the unlocking process in the national capital. The Delhi Metro resumed services on Monday after a break of nearly three weeks in view of the improved COVID situation in the national capital, but with 50% seating capacity and no provision for standing travel for commuters, officials said.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) services were fully suspended since May 20 in view of the COVID-induced lockdown, which was first imposed on April 19 and then successively extended by the city government. Metro services initially ran partially, catering only to people from essential services, but from May 10, it was suspended in view of rising cases amid the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
''Many activities are resuming in Delhi from today. But take all the precautions to prevent corona completely - wear a mask, keep social distance and keep washing hands, there should be no laxity at all,'' he said in a tweet in Hindi. ''One has to stay away from corona infection and also bring the economy back on track,'' the chief minister added.
Malls, markets, and market complexes (except weekly markets) will open between 10 am to 8 pm on an odd-even basis in accordance with their shop numbers, from Monday morning.
