To boost the connectivity in the national capital, Prime Minister Narendra Modi- led Union Cabinet had approved the three out of six Delhi metro’s Phase-IV proposed corridors.
Meanwhile, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has issued an advisory for the commuters. The city’s rapid transit system has asked the passengers to purchase the smart cards from Metro Stations only.
In a statement, the DMRC further said, “Delhi Metro Smart Cards are officially sold from station ticket/ customer care counters only since beginning.” The move comes after DMRC officials on Tuesday morning caught two of its staff working as Customer Care operators at Qutab Minar Metro station, engaged in unauthorized recharge and selling of Smart Cards to people on discounted rates outside Metro premises.
