Delhi Metro Timings: With the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) bye-elections approaching, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced special early-morning services to facilitate the smooth movement of polling personnel across 12 wards in the city.

This initiative is designed to ensure that polling staff can reach their assigned booths on time, both on polling day and the day of the vote counting.

The Blue Line, which connects Delhi to Noida in Uttar Pradesh, will also follow the 4:00 AM start, mirroring the early operations across the metro network. The Blue Line will operate from 4:00 AM to 1:30 PM on both polling and counting days.
