Delhi: In an update at 12.25 pm, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation said on Twitter that train movement had partially been normalised between Qutub Minar and Chhattarpur, and single line was operational.
Traffic snarls were seen all the way from Gurgaon to Delhi while Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) officials rushed to fix the technical glitch that led to the crisis.
Hundreds of people were seen standing on the roads waiting for some mode of transport and battling the sweltering heat.
Trains on Yellow Line that connects Huda City Centre in Gurgaon to Samaypur Badli in Delhi was disrupted around at 9:32 am.
The Yellow Line is one of the busiest routes of the Delhi Metro and connects Samaypur Badli in the north of Delhi to Huda City Centre in Gurugram.
An official said that trains are being run in loops temporarily – between Huda City Centre and Sultanpur and between Samaypur Badli and Qutub Minar. There will be no train movement between Sultanpur and Qutub Minar till the snag is resolved, the official said.
The Delhi Metro also ran feeder bus services between Sultanpur and Qutub Minar to help the passengers at the metro stations.
Meanwhile, many commuters took to Twitter to share pictures and videos to show the chaos at metro stations. Traffic jams were also reported around metro stations in Delhi and Gurugram.
