New Delhi: Delhi Metro services were hit on Saturday morning after a technical glitch. The Noida/Vaishali to Dwarka route remained shut for 45 minutes causing inconvenience to commuters.
People said there were no announcements about the snag and they were not even allowed to leave the stations. The massive footfall due to Bhai Duj made matters worse.
DMRC officials said a pantograph of a train got entangled in Overhead Equipment (OHE) between Rajiv Chowk and RK Ashram section, while approaching the Rajiv Chowk station around 9:20 am.
The train was stuck for around 45 minutes close to the station and passengers had to be evacuated through the emergency gate. DMRC said the OHE team undertook the restoration work and the train was removed from service at 10:05 am.
