Even though Karnataka has been opening up despite the over 3 lakh coronavirus cases so far, one thing that has been firmly shut since March has been the Bengaluru Metro. The central government has so far not allowed metros services to start running again anywhere in the country. "If government of India is going to permit, we need to take adequate measures to see that the closed cabins will be safer with regard to the sterilisation and aerosols. Design and redesigning of these cabins can be done. Many of the places already done - I think metro can be a safe space provided we take the precautionary measures and the designs are done to address the concerns," Deputy Chief Minister Dr Ashwath Narayan, told NDTV.
