Snag hits services on Delhi Metro's Magenta Line

NEW DELHI; Commuters travelling by the Delhi Metro's Magenta Line faced a tough time on Tuesday morning as services on a section of the corridor were affected due to a technical snag, officials said.

The Magenta Line connects Janakpuri West station in Delhi to Botanical Garden in Noida. "The snag occurred sometime around 7 am between Palam and Terminal 1 stations, leading to a delay in services between Janakpuri West and Terminal 1 IGI Airport stations," a senior DMRC official said.

The DMRC also tweeted about the delay to inform the commuters, many of whom take the Magenta Line to reach the airport. After over an hour-and-a-half, normal services were restored on the line, the officials said.
