Yellow Line Disruption: Passenger Incident Causes Rush Hour Delay

Yellow Line Disruption: Passenger Incident Causes Rush Hour Delay.webp

New Delhi, March 30 Services on the Delhi Metro's Yellow Line were disrupted for approximately one and a half hours during the morning rush hour on Monday due to a "passenger on the tracks" at the Vishwavidyalaya station.

Large crowds were seen on platforms as commuters waited for trains.

In a post on X, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said, "Delay in train services on the Yellow line due to a passenger on the tracks at the Vishwavidyalaya metro station."

Train services were temporarily suspended on the Yellow Line for safety reasons following the incident, leading to longer waiting times and overcrowding at several stations along the line during the morning rush, it said.

A commuter, Amit, said the disruption during office hours was very inconvenient. "It's office time, and there is a huge rush. Even when the trains arrive, they are too crowded to board easily," he said.

Another commuter said, "It's already getting late, and there is no clarity on how long this will continue. Many of us may not be able to reach the office on time today."

Normal services were restored on the Yellow Line after one and a half hours, according to the DMRC.
