However, interchange facility between Line-2 (HUDA City Centre – Jahangirpuri) and Line-3/4 (Dwarka Sec-21 – NOIDA City Centre/Anand Vihar) will remain operational at Rajiv Chowk Metro station till the end of 11 pm,” a DMRC spokesperson said.
No train operating on Line-3/4 (Dwarka Sec-21 – NOIDA City Centre/Anand Vihar) will stop at Barakhamba Road Metro station after 8 pm.
Otherwise the services on this corridor will remain normal. Services at all other Metro corridors and stations will continue normally. However, no tokens for Rajiv Chowk and Barakhamba Road will be issued from the terminal stations.
