To cope with the increased passenger volume on Raksha Bandhan on Monday (August 19), the Delhi Metro will have additional standby trains available on its routes, ready to be deployed if required to handle the increased demand.
On X-day, Delhi Metro Railway Corporation (DMRC) announced the services and said, “To facilitate passengers on the festival of Rakshabandhan on Monday i.e. 19th August 2024, Delhi Metro will be ready with additional reserve trains on its corridors for induction into services to cater to the rush, if required.”
“DMRC will also deploy additional staff at stations to cater to the extra rush of passengers by operating additional ticket counters,” the message said. “Passengers are requested to use mobile apps i.e. DMRC Momentum, WhatsApp, Paytm, One Delhi and Amazon to purchase QR tickets online to avoid rush at ticket counters or to purchase National Common Mobility Card/Smart Card from customer service centres,” the DMRC said.
It was further stated that guards and Customer Facilitation Agents (CFA) will be deployed at major metro stations to assist and guide passengers on the day. Every year, Raksha Bandhan is celebrated with much exuberance and festivity in India. The festival values the strong bonds between brothers and sisters.
On this day, sisters tie Rakhi on their brother’s wrist, which symbolizes their feeling of protection, care and love towards their brother. Also, brothers show respect and love for their sisters by offering them gifts, sweets and money.
