Delhi Police Request to Start Metro Ops By 4am
In a letter to the DMRC, Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora had requested it to start train services from 4 am on September 8, 9 and 10 so that security personnel can reach their duty posts in time.
Since arrangements at G20 venues — International Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre (IECC) and Rajghat — will begin early in the morning, the reporting time for staffers for these venues has been kept from 5 am onwards, it said.
“In view of traffic restrictions in the venue-affected areas, primarily NDMC (New Delhi Municipal Council) and southwest district areas, being put in place, the police and other support staff will be greatly facilitated if the metro services on September 8, 9 and 10 can begin from about 4 am,” the letter stated.
