According to commuters, many were stuck on crowded stations for around 45 minutes, waiting for their trains.
“I have been at the Kalkaji Station for the past 30 minutes but there are no trains. The officials at the station do not have any answers and now the station is packed,” said Rashmi Singh, who works in a private firm in Faridabad.
Delhi Metro tweeted at around 9 am: “Service Update. Delay in services on Violet, Green and Pink lines. Please allow for some extra time in your commute.”
