As the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) recently announced its plans of resuming services September 7 onwards, its official Twitter account celebrated the news by tweaking one of the most famous songs about the month ‘September’ by Green Day. While the original song says “wake me up when September ends”, DMRC updated the last word to “starts” implying that after several months of services being halted in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, they will resume this month. The Twitter post by DMRC, marking “Metro back on track” was shared on August 31 and has already garnered over 10k views.
Netizens say ‘good to know’
Several internet users either retweeted the post or commented saying that it is “good to know” DMRC has finally rolled out a plan to start the services. Hundreds of thousands of commuters in the National Capital are solely dependent on Metro services for intra-city travels but even though the unlocking of COVID-19 lockdown was under process, DMRC will finally start running trains by September 7.
From limiting the number of people in lifts to longer halting time for trains, Delhi Metro has planned various restrictions that would be followed after its services resume on September 7 for the first time amid COVID-19 pandemic. "As per the latest guidelines issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs under Unlock 4, the Delhi Metro will be resuming its services for the public from September 7 onwards in a calibrated manner," the DMRC said in a statement.
