As per agency reports, the delay in blue line metro services was due to a technical snag. However, this is the second time since the beginning of October that the blue line metro services were disrupted. On October 2, the blue line metro services were disrupted due to the maintenance work.
The disruptions in services were because of the maintenance work going on between Yamuna Bank and Akshardham section on the blue line on October 2. During this period on Gandhi Jayanti, passengers travelling from one end of this route to the other will had to change trains at Yamuna Bank. DMRC undertakes maintenance work regularly on different routes to ensure the proper functioning of the metro. Earlier, similar announcements were made for the maintenance work going on the Yellow line of Delhi Metro.
