The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will not permit passengers to exit the Rajiv Chowk metro station after 9 pm on December 31. However, passengers will be allowed to enter the station to board the trains. This will enable authorities to maintain law and order during New Year's Eve celebrations in New Delhi district area, the DMRC said.

The Delhi High Court Friday extended its order restraining the DMRC staff from going on strike over a number of demands, including pay-scale revision, saying huge inconvenience would be caused to commuters. Justice Pratibha Rani extended the interim order directing the employees not to go on strike till further orders and sought their response on a plea by the DMRC.
