On Monday, operations on the Delhi Metro’s Yellow Line were disrupted for approximately one and a half hours during the morning rush hour due to a “passenger on track” incident at Vishwavidyalaya station. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said that train services on the Yellow Line were regulated under safety precautions following the incident.
The disruption led to longer waiting times and overcrowding at several stations along the corridor during peak office hours. Large crowds were seen on platforms as passengers waited for trains. According to reports, several commuters faced inconvenience because of the delay.
One commuter said the disruption during office hours caused major inconvenience, with trains arriving heavily crowded and making boarding difficult. Another passenger said there was uncertainty over how long the disruption would continue, raising concerns about reaching the office on time.
Normal services on the Yellow Line were restored after around one and a half hours, according to DMRC.
