Quake: Metro services run on restricted mode

Metro services were put on restricted mode by slowing the speed of the trains after fresh tremors were felt in the national capital today.
No loss of life or property damage was reported in any part of the city.
According to a senior Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) official, Metro services were put on restricted mode by slowing the speed of the trains, causing a little delay in the services, due to quake.
"As a precautionary measure we restricted the services by slowing the speed of the trains. Services are now normal," the official said.
According to a senior government official, all emergency support functionaries including police, civic agencies, hospitals and fire services have been alerted.

Civil defense volunteers have been alerted and instructed to do patrolling in their areas, the official said.

Fresh tremors were felt today across north and east India prompting people to rush out of their homes and offices, a day after a 7.9 magnitude quake devastated neighbouring Nepal and affected parts of India.
Meanwhile, Delhi Government has decided to send 25,000 packets of food and 25,000 pouches of drinking water as immediate relief for the people of quake-hit Nepal.
The first consignment of relief material is ready to be despatched on Monday.
