DMRC issued advisory
The DMRC has suggested its commuters to check live updates on the official app and website. Though the suspension is only for two hours per day, it may cause delays and congestion, especially for those who have a busy schedule. Regular commuters should plan their journey around the suspension timings and consider using auto-rickshaws, buses or other metro lines for a smooth journey.
