The Delhi Metro will not run on this coming Sunday (March 22) and all metro rail-related services will also remain closed for the day in view of the “Janata curfew”, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) informed on Friday.

According to a statement issued by the DMRC, the move is aimed at encouraging the public to stay indoors to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The call to observe a “Janata curfew” or a ‘People’s Curfew’ on Sunday was announced by the Prime Minister a day before in a public address to the nation. While speaking on the way ahead for India in tackling the coronavirus outbreak and the initiative that the citizens need to take, Modi urged that the entire country observe the curfew on Sunday, i.e. they should stay indoors and work from home on that day, also encouraging them to extend the practice for the following days.

Meanwhile, the total number of coronavirus cases in the national capital rose to 14 on Thursday, according to the Delhi Health Department.
