The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has released the new guidelines for the gradual reopening of certain operations across the country. Named as Unlock 4.0,’ under the guidelines, Metro Rail services will resume, although the maximum number of individuals for activities and congregations will also be expanded. Particularly, all States and Union Territories have been advised to strictly follow the guidelines provided by the MHA. If any state or UT decides to amend the rules, they will first have to check with the MHA or the central department concerned.
