The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation informed the Supreme Court that none of its services were reduced or cancelled amid the recent citywide protests.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) appeared before the Supreme Court to address allegations that its services were disrupted during the recent protests in the capital. In its submission, DMRC asserted that the metro network operated continuously, with no trains cancelled or schedules curtailed.
The corporation highlighted that operational data for the protest period showed normal frequency of services across all lines, and that any perceived delays were due to external crowd movement, not service suspension.
The Supreme Court noted the filing and directed the authorities to monitor commuter impact, while DMRC pledged to cooperate with any further inquiries.
The clarification comes as commuters and commuters' groups had raised concerns over potential inconvenience caused by the protests, seeking assurance of reliable public transport.
No further comment was provided by the court at this stage.
