Delhi Metro commuters on the Yellow Line faced a difficult time during the Monday morning rush hour. Services were disrupted for nearly 90 minutes because of a passenger on the track at Vishwavidyalaya station. This led to a huge rush at the platforms as trains were regulated for safety reasons.
What caused the delay on the Yellow Line?
The main reason for the disruption was a passenger on track incident reported at the Vishwavidyalaya Metro station. As a standard safety protocol, the metro officials had to regulate the train movements immediately. This caused a ripple effect across the entire line, making trains run behind schedule for about an hour and a half.
How were the passengers affected?
Because the incident took place during peak office hours, the impact was widespread. Passengers reported heavy overcrowding at major stations and long waiting times on the platforms. Many commuters had to look for alternative transport to reach their offices. Metro officials later confirmed that the situation was handled and normal operations were restored for the public.
