NEW DELHI:
Trains on Delhi Metro’s Magenta Line were delayed by more than 30 minutes today morning, with services affected by what the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) called a “technical snag”. The delay led to trains running at 20 minute intervals instead of the usual 10, and scenes of overcrowding.
The Magenta Line runs from the Janakpuri West station to Botanical Gardens in Noida. Under normal conditions, the journey – a distance of approximately 40 kilometres – takes 56 minutes to complete.
“The snag occurred sometime around 7 am between Palam and Terminal 1 stations, leading to a delay in services between Janakpuri West and Terminal 1 IGI Airport stations,” a senior DMRC official said.
