Soon after the farmers were granted entry inside the national territory and were allowed to hold peaceful protest at Burari ground, the Delhi Metro announced that the train services are running normal at all corridors from 5:35 pm onwards. DMRC announced that as of now, regular services will be there on all lines tomorrow. Earlier in the day as the farmers continued their efforts to enter the national capital to hold protests against the contentious farm laws of the Centre, the DMRC had announced the closure of exit and entry gates at six metro stations on the Green Line. The decision was taken in view of the 'Delhi Chalo' march by farmers against the Centre's new farm laws. The Delhi Metro authorities had earlier announced that services from neighbouring cities will remain suspended on Friday. The Delhi Police on Friday used tear gas shells to disperse a group of farmers who had reached the Singhu border as part of the protest march. The shells were fired at the border point which connects Delhi with Haryana. Farmers  assembled near the borders in tractor-trolleys laden with rations and essentials for their proposed Delhi march.
