NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): Like all the services of public transport in the capital stay stopped the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation’s (DMRC’s) team of architects & designers are carrying online-meetings with locality personnel, design experts and contractors to finalise the designs for the development on Phase-IV.
The senior officials of Delhi Metro including MD Mangu Singh continued work at their offices on Monday. “In the lockdown period, meetings are being directed through video conference to review a range of major issues and online courses are being available to the employees for their knowledge and awareness enhancement,” stated by DMRC official Anuj Dayal.
