    Here are more details.

    "The first passenger service will start from Escorts Mujesar at 4:30 am and trains will be available at a frequency of 15 minutes till 6 am, and then services will be resumed as per normal timetable," a DMRC official said.

    In an advisory, the DMRC has also said that train services will run as usual across the entire network on Independence Day (August 15).

    Entry/exit at four stations of Line-6 (Kashmere Gate to Escorts Mujesar) - Lal Quila, Jama Masjid, Delhi Gate and ITO - will be permitted from select entry/exit gates during the function. Some gates will be closed at these stations owing to security considerations.
