Total Lockdown In Bengal, Metro Rail to Remain Shut

Unlike in New Delhi, the Metro services are not restarting operations in Kolkata today as part of Unlock4. In fact, West Bengal is on a total lockdown today. Nothing but essential services can function. The number of daily new Covid19 cases in Kolkata have declined and the state is recording a surge of around 3,000 Covid cases a day. Containment zones in Kolkata have also declined dramatically from 338 in mid-May to just one, which is in north Kolkata.
