New Delhi, June 15

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced on Sunday that there will be a delay in services in the Blue Line between Karol Bagh and Kirti Nagar stations.

The cause of the disruption is yet to be ascertained.

Earlier at 6 AM today, train services between Rajendra Place and Karol Bagh were also disrupted.

Earlier on June 9, services were disrupted after a fire broke out at Trilokpuri Sanjay Lake metro station (Pink Line), with DMRC saying that trains approaching the station were running at a restricted speed of 25 km/hr as compared to the normal speed of up to 40 km/hr.

In a series of posts, DMRC had said, "Train services on Line-7 (Pink Line i.e. Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar), are being regulated on a small stretch since 11:20 AM today due to smoke being detected in one of the technical rooms at Trilok Puri-Sanjay Lake Metro station."

This is becoming too frequent now. DMRC needs to upgrade their maintenance systems. I was stuck for 45 minutes today - missed an important meeting. 😤 At least they should give real-time updates on platforms rather than just tweeting.

Understand these technical issues happen, but DMRC should compensate commuters when delays exceed 30 minutes like other metro systems globally. My office deduction for being late is more painful than the delay itself!

The Blue Line is the busiest corridor. Instead of expanding new lines, DMRC should focus on strengthening existing infrastructure. Safety first! 🙏

Used to take the metro daily pre-pandemic. Now with these frequent disruptions, I'm going back to cabs despite the cost. Reliability matters more than just low fares.

The staff at Karol Bagh station handled the crowd well today. Appreciate their efforts in difficult situations. Maybe DMRC can train more personnel for crisis management?

Why don't they run shuttle buses between affected stations during such disruptions? Would help thousands of stranded commuters. Delhi needs better contingency plans.
