Delhi Metro services will start running from 4 a.m. from all terminal stations across the national capital on October 31 to facilitate `Run for Unity` event participants, a government statement said on Wednesday.

In an order, the government said it received a letter on October 3 for early resumption of Metro services to facilitate participants of `Run for Unity` event from 4 a.m. onwards on October 31.

"In view of the requests to facilitate `Run for Unity` event participants, it has been decided to start Metro services on the event day (October 31, 2019) at 4 a.m. with a frequency of 30 minutes till 6 a.m. from all terminal stations.
