Chhath Puja 2026: Delhi Metro To Start Services At 04:30 AM For Usha Arghya

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will begin train services at 04:30 AM on Monday, November 16, instead of the usual 6 AM.

The arrangement aims to facilitate travel for devotees heading to the ghats to perform Usha Arghya during Chhath Puja.

According to a DMRC official, trains will operate at 15-minute intervals across all Metro lines until regular revenue services begin as per the day’s scheduled timetable.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced the revised Metro timings through a post on the social media platform X. She said the early services would help devotees, particularly women, senior citizens and families, reach the ghats without difficulty.

CM Gupta added that the government had made arrangements to ensure that devotees could perform their rituals without disruption and offer arghya to the rising Sun on time.

The Chief Minister invited devotees to join her for Chhath Puja prayers at Elephant Ghat near ITO in Delhi on Monday. She said she would offer arghya to the rising Sun alongside women observing the Chhath fast.

CM Gupta stated that the government had made arrangements for Chhath celebrations across Delhi to help families perform the rituals with devotion and convenience.

🚇 कल 16 नवंबर को उषा अर्घ्य के पावन अवसर पर दिल्ली मेट्रो सुबह 4:30 बजे से ही चलेगी। शुरुआती समय में सभी लाइनों पर हर 15 मिनट में ट्रेन उपलब्ध होगी।

हमारी सरकार ने यह व्यवस्था इसलिए की है ताकि छठी मैया की आराधना के लिए निकलने वाली हमारी माताओं, बहनों, बुजुर्गों और लाखों श्रद्धालुओं को घाट तक पहुंचने में कोई परेशानी न हो।

हम हर छोटी-बड़ी सुविधा का बारीकी से ध्यान रख रहे हैं। किसी छठव्रती की पूजा में कोई बाधा न आए, हर परिवार समय पर घाट पहुंचे और उगते सूर्यदेव को श्रद्धापूर्वक अर्घ्य अर्पित करे।

आपकी आस्था और आपकी सुविधा हमारे लिए सबसे बढ़कर है।
