NEW DELHI: Commuters between Noida-Ghaziabad and Delhi faced a harrowing time during peak morning hours on Thursday after Delhi Metro services on the busy Blue Line were hit by a technical snag.
Services between Dwarka Sector 21 and Noida Electronic City/Vaishali remained affected for more than two hours between 7.30am and 9.30am. A Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) spokesperson informed that there had been a damage to the overhead electrification wire due to flashover by an external object between Yamuna Bank and Indraprastha stations, which caused the technical snag.
“Repair work is being done on war footing. The inconvenience is regretted,” DMRC officials stated. The Blue Line connects Dwarka Sector 21 in Delhi with Noida Electronic City, along with a branch line to Vaishali.
