"Entry &amp; exit gates of Brigadier Hoshiar Singh, Bahadurgarh City, Pandit Shree Ram Sharma, Tikri Border, Tikri Kalan and Ghevra stations on Green Line are now closed," the DMRC tweeted. The Delhi Metro authorities had earlier announced that services from neighbouring cities will remain suspended on Friday "As advised by Delhi Police, Metro services will be available only from Delhi towards the NCR sections. However, services from the NCR stations towards Delhi will not be available due to security reasons till further notice. However, metro services will be available from Delhi towards the NCR sections," DMRC had said. The Delhi Police on Friday used tear gas shells to disperse a group of farmers who had reached the Singhu border as part of the protest march. The shells were fired at the border point which connects Delhi with Haryana. Security has been strengthened at the border and sand-laden trucks and water cannons have been stationed. Barbed wire is also being used for fencing at the Singhu border to prevent the protesters from entering the city. Punjab farmers, representing over 30 farm bodies, have announced they will go to Delhi through several routes -- Lalru, Shambhu, Patiala-Pehowa, Patran-Khanauri, Moonak-Tohana, Ratia-Fatehabad and Talwandi-Sirsa. Tension was escalating at all the border points. Farmers have assembled near the borders in tractor-trolleys laden with rations and essentials for their proposed Delhi march. Authorities in Haryana have imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) in several parts of the state to prevent assembly of the protesters. The Farmers' bodies have said that they will hold a dharna wherever they are stopped from moving towards the national capital to demand the repeal of the new farm laws, which, they said, should be replaced with another set of legislations framed after wider consultation with the stakeholders.

The I-T Department is proactively pursuing extension of statutory limitation/time barring dates with the government."Till then, DoR (department of revenue under Union finance ministry) instructions based on DoPT's 22/03 order allows us to do whatever work possible from home, even if ITBA tasks cannot be carried out," the association of the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officers said.The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) had recently directed ministries and departments that junior-rank officials of the central government should rationalise manpower and allow work from home and in shifts in certain cases.The association said local situations must be paramount in determining how and whether tax offices run, even if they are officially not shut."Feasibility of commuting of officers/staff, prohibitory orders under section 144, border restrictions between states in areas like NCR, ability of drivers to come for duty, etc. So, while we wait for orders, let us not panic. Let us take necessary precautions and ensure minimum travel and maintain social distancing," it said in a statement."We must follow Hon'ble PM's advice and maintain utmost vigil," it added.The more vigilant the officials are, the association said, greater the chances of conquering the extraordinary COVID-19 challenge."So work from home as much as you can.

Keep others safe and let us overcome this challenge together," it said.Another body of I-T gazetted officers has made a similar demand to the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and the government to extend the mandatory March 31 timeline to finish a variety of assessment cases.The Mumbai region of the department has also asked the CBDT, which frames policy for the department, to extend the deadline for the ''Vivad se Vishwas Scheme'' and proceedings to be finalised by March-end under the anti-black money law.
