Long queues of people were seen outside various Delhi Metro stations for the second consecutive day on Thursday, after the imposition of fresh curbs by authorities to check the spread of a rising number of COVID-19 cases in the national capital.
Meanwhile, anticipating a huge rush of commuters on the New Year’s Eve, Delhi Metro authorities have decided that exit from the Rajiv Chowk metro station will not be allowed after 9 pm on Friday.
However, with new Covid restrictions and a night curfew in place from 10 pm onwards in Delhi amid a scare of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, the crowd is likely to be small.
