Delhi Metro Free Ride: The tune of Jana Gana Mana…, the tricolor in hands and the spirit of patriotism in the heart… Independence Day is a very special day for every Indian. And if you want to celebrate this special day by attending the main function at the Red Fort in the capital of Delhi, then the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has made a very big and wonderful arrangement for you.
DMRC has announced that on August 15, Independence Day, metro services will start at 4 am, while on normal days these services start at 6 am! This decision has been taken for the convenience of thousands of people who want to be a part of the flag hoisting ceremony at the Red Fort.
What is the new schedule of the metro?
On August 15, train services on all lines of the Delhi Metro (Red, Yellow, Blue, Magenta etc.) will begin at 4:00 am. From 4:00 am to 6:00 am, trains on all lines will run at an interval of 30 minutes. After 6:00 am, the metro will run as per its normal and regular schedule throughout the day.
Travel will be absolutely free for these people!
DMRC has also given the gift of free travel to some people on this special day. This includes all those special guests and invitees who have a valid invitation card issued by the Ministry of Defense. These special guests will be provided a ticket with a special QR code by DMRC. Through this ticket, they will be able to travel free in the metro. The metro fare of these passengers will be paid to DMRC by the Ministry of Defense.
Nearest Metro Stations to Red Fort
If you are going to the ceremony, it will be most convenient for you to get down at these three Metro stations:
- Red Fort (Violet Line)
- Jama Masjid (Violet Line)
- Delhi Gate (Violet Line)
‘Seven’ levels of security! Know this important thing before traveling in the metro
Keeping Independence Day in mind, the security system in Delhi Metro has been made impenetrable. CISF has further tightened the security check, which may affect your journey. Security checks have been made more strict and intensive at all metro stations from August 9. Due to this strict check, especially during the morning and evening peak hours, there may be long queues at the entrance of metro stations.
DMRC has appealed to all passengers to take some extra time while planning their journey. If you have to reach office or any important work at 9 o’clock, then leave home 15-20 minutes earlier. Passengers have been requested to cooperate fully with the security personnel during the checking. This is for the safety of you and all of us.
