Answer:
Before COVID-19, lifts at Delhi metro stations were often packed with 5-6 people. But now the metro authorities have limited the number of people inside the lifts to only three. The same guideline was outlined on the space right in front of the lift’s entry. Social distancing markings were there inside the lift. Before entering the station, I had to put my hand under a sanitizing machine and my temperature was checked. A friend who was coming from Dwarka told me that he was told to show the Aarogya Setu app too during entry with an active internet connection. When I was returning from Noida, I was asked to show the smartcard at entry. There was a man who failed to show the metro card. The cops told him to apply for it online right then. At both Saket and Noida, there were counters for sanitizing bags. At the counter, a person was sitting who was disinfecting the bags of each entrant with a long sanitizing stick. He was sanitizing bags of all sizes. I had a small sling bag. He sanitized that as well. Prior to passing my bag through the baggage scanning machine, I was told to keep all my belongings inside my bag, including the mobile, the purse, and the sanitizer. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation ( DMRC) has banned body frisking during entry for the very first time to reduce physical contact. However, I was told to stand for a few seconds while crossing the DMFD door (Door Frame Metal Detector). Delhi metro has already issued updated guidelines stating that tokens are not allowed for transactions now. Therefore, the ticket counters are closed for the time being. People are present for recharging the metro cards. Auto top-up machines are also assisting passengers to get their cards automatically recharged through phones. Before getting on the escalator, I noticed an advisory that stated, “COVID-19 alert: Only one passenger per step and leaves one step empty between two passengers”. Red markings were put on the steps not to be used. The platforms have circular markings in white with bold red borders. Each of them has the same message written, ‘Ensure Social Distancing’. The day I traveled, it was just five days after the resumption of metro services and since it was past 7 PM, the station was almost empty with just 5-6 people. At first, I traveled from Saket to Hauz Khas on the Yellow Line. At Hauz Khas, I changed from Yellow Line to Magenta Line to reach Botanical Garden. Hauz Khas to Botanical Garden makes a total of 14 stations. When I boarded the metro at Hauz Khas, only one lady was sitting inside the coach and she got down after two stations at Chirag Delhi. For the rest of the 12 stations, I traveled alone. In the adjoining coach too, there were only three people. I was super socially-distanced from others. On the return journey, the next day around the same time, only me and my friend were in the coach, along with another person, who had boarded the train after a few stations. There were ‘do not seat here’ markings on alternate seats. All the Delhi metro employees and cops on duty at the stations are wearing face masks and face shields. From the staff appointed at the gates to the ones supervising crowds on the platforms, each and every one of them was seen wearing mandatory masks and face shields.
I understand and I'm sorry I got carried while writing. I didn't realize I wrote so much!
But u can cut some points to fit the word limit and if this helped then mark me as brainliest as well. Much appreciated!
