The DMRC informed that following the advice of Police, metro services on Friday will be available only from Delhi towards NCR. However, services from the NCR stations towards Delhi will not be available due to security reasons till further notice.


On Thursday, commuters from NCR regions like Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and Ghaziabad faced the same issue as train services between Delhi and NCR metro stations on seven corridors were closed till 2 pm due to the protest.

"Due to Kisan Rally call for Delhi, on the request of Delhi Police and to avoid overcrowding in view of ongoing Covid pandemic, services will be regulated tomorrow from resumption early in the morning till 2 PM through loops. After 2 PM, services will run on all lines from end to end," DMRC had informed on Wednesday.

Normal services were made available on all sections from 5 PM onwards.

Meanwhile, traffic was also thrown out of gear at the Delhi-Gurugram border as police intensified checking at the border by putting up barricades to check the entry of the farmers inside the capital.

Congress-led Punjab and BJP-led Haryana state government have been at the opposite ends over the matter while publically issuing statements to oppose each others' stance.
