Train services will commence with adequate frequency as they were before 22nd March 2020 which may be increased or decreased as per requirement. However, due to an increase in dwell time of trains at stations, there will be a minor increase in time required for performing a trip, it said.

The DMRC further said that trains will not stop at stations falling in the containment zone and such stations will remain closed to the public.

Similarly, some of the stations may be skipped if social distancing is not adhered by the passengers, it said.
