They will be handed over a slip which will allow them travel free of cost to and fro Chandni Chowk, official sources said on Friday.
Metro facilities will be available from 4:30 AM, instead of the normal time of 5:30 AM.
Meanwhile, parking facilities will not be available at Delhi Metro stations till 2.00 pm on Saturday in view of security measures adopted on the occasion of Independence Day.
