New Delhi: Passengers travelling by the busy Blue Line (Dwarka-Vaishali/Noida Electronic City) on Friday morning had to face delays due to a technical snag.
The problem started at around 8.40 am. The snag led to delay in services from Dwarka to Rajiv Chowk and normal services resumed only after 10.50 am. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), however, said the problem was intermittent and didn’t lead to any major delays even when the snag occurred at peak passenger traffic hour.
“Train services on Blue Line witnessed a minor delay on Up line as they headed from Uttam Nagar West towards Dwarka due to a technical issue with a track circuit intermittently near Uttam Nagar station between 8 am and 10 am. However, train services on the entire Blue Line were broadly normal during this period,” a DMRC spokesperson said.
A problem in the track circuit is linked with the signalling system and it requires manual intervention whenever the circuit ‘drops’.
