Thank God no casualties were reported! 🙏 Delhi Metro needs to conduct regular safety audits of all technical rooms. This is the second incident this year. Safety should be top priority for our lifeline transport system.

Was stuck in the metro for 20 minutes today because of this. While it was frustrating, I appreciate DMRC's quick response and clear announcements. Better safe than sorry when it comes to fire hazards!

Why does Delhi Metro keep having these technical room fires? Last month it was at Rajiv Chowk. Are they compromising on equipment quality or maintenance? Taxpayers deserve answers.

Kudos to Delhi Fire Service for quick response! 🔥🚒 But DMRC should install better fire detection systems. In a crowded metro system, even small delays create big problems for office-goers like me.

The Pink Line has become quite unreliable lately. First signal issues, now fires. I hope they fix this permanently rather than just temporary solutions. Our metro used to be world-class!

At least they maintained communication well through announcements and social media. Many government agencies can learn from DMRC's crisis communication. Hope they find the root cause soon.
