(Representational image)Services were disrupted on the Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro during Monday morning rush hour due to a technical glitch and trains were not available between Sultanpur and Ghitorni stations, an official of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said.
The DMRC informed in a tweet normal services had resumed almost three hours after the disruption and that all gates are open for entry and exit at the MG Road Metro Station.
The disruption inconvenienced passengers Monday morning, and commuters took to social media to share photographs of crowded metro stations along the Yellow Line. Commuters also shared photos of crowds outside the Sultanpur Metro Station, since the trains were running only till Sultanpur.
