This was the second draw for both sides but the first goalless draw.
The result means that Lajong hold on to first place, based on more goals scored than Sreenidi Deccan. However, Diamond Harbour have a chance to take the lead in the standings when they face Real Kashmir tomorrow.
Lajong coach Birendra Thapa named an unchanged first XI from the win against Gokulam Kerala a few days ago.
