BENGALURU: Amidst tight security, regular Metro train operations will run on Monday. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) is also gearing up to handle an additional rush exceeding its average working day crowd due to other modes of public transport being off the roads. According to Chief Public Relations Officer U A Vasanth Rao, “Metro will operate as per schedule tomorrow. However, if there is a situation causing safety and security concerns, the Operations Wing of BMRCL will take an appropriate decision.”
BMRCL Managing Director Ajay Seth said, “The service frequency will depend on the number of commuters opting for travel by our trains.” A tight security cordon will be provided at all 40 Metro stations in co-ordination with the reserved security forces, according to the State Police.
