In addition, people who will have bona fide e-invitation cards or e-tickets for attending the Republic Day ceremony will be issued coupons after showing valid government-issued photo identity cards at stations to be valid for exit from the Central Secretariat and Udyog Bhawan Metro station only to reach the Kartavya Path, a DMRC statement mentioned.

The same coupon will be valid for return journeys from these two stations only, it added. Further, the statement mentioned that regular announcements will also be made inside the trains to inform the passengers so that they deboard at designated stations to reach their enclosures smoothly.
