Recently, the central security and intelligence agencies along with the aviation security regulator Bureau of Civil Aviation Security Airport had issued an alert of a possible threat. After this, CISF has increased security at IGI Airport as well as all the stations of Delhi Metro. Additional security forces have been deployed at these places.

For the convenience of the people participating in the Delhi Half Marathon, the service of Delhi Metro will start much before the scheduled time on Sunday, so that people do not face any problem in reaching Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and Sansad Marg. Since parking arrangements around the venue are very limited and there will be a lot of crowd, people have been appealed to reach the starting point of the marathon by metro instead of private vehicles.

The first metro will run at 3.15 am

According to the information received from DMRC, except for the Airport Metro Line and the Grey Line of the Metro between Dhansa Bus Stand and Dwarka, the Metro will start running from the terminal stations of all other lines from 3:15 am on Sunday.
