New Delhi: A technical snag led to the disruption of regular train services of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on the Yellow Line. The movement of the trains between the Qutub Minar and Sultanpur station have been temporarily withdrawn due to the snag.
“Due to an issue at Chattarpur, train services will be run in following loops temporarily – between Huda City Centre and Sultanpur, between Samaypur Badli and Qutub Minar. There will be no train movement between Sultanpur & Qutub Minar and we’ll update when the issue is rectified”, a Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) official said.
The Delhi Metro’s Yellow Line connects Samaypur Badli in northwest Delhi and Huda City Centre in Gurgaon.
Huge crowd was seen outside the stations as people waited for other forms of transport. Meanwhile, to avoid any inconvenience to the passengers of the train, DMRC has said that it will operate feeder buses between Sultanpur and Qutub Minar stations.
Frustrated citizens shared pictures and videos of serpentine queues and huge crowds clogging the stations on Twitter. In some places, people had to walk on the railway tracks after power failure at the metro stations.
Earlier last week, Delhi Metro’s Blue Line was affected, causing inconvenience to passengers traveling between Noida Electronic City and Akshardham. The Blue Line connects Dwarka to Noida and Vaishali and is one of the busiest segments of the Delhi Metro network.
