Morning time its holiday and you know its Rakhi Day and you are very happy go lucky mood and you take metro and gate closed and metro start moving after few minutes metro stopped and you are inside. Yes this same case happen in Delhi today. It was a harrowing Raksha Bandhan day on Sunday for thousand Of Delhi Metro trapped and didn’t worked for hours.

“Train services on Line-2 (Yellow Line) between Chhatarpur and HUDA City Centre section were affected todayfor hours  due to problem in overhead wires leading to tripping of power supply in this section. As a result, passengers from four trains, at Guru Dronacharya, Sikanderpur and IFFCO Chowk had to be deboarded,” Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said in a statement.

The snag had a cascading effect across the Yellow Line, which connects Gurgaon’s HUDA City Centre to north Delhi’s Samaypur Badli, with interchange stations providing links with Magenta Line, Blue Line, Violet Line and Red Line.

DMRC remained tightlipped on passengers having to walk on tracks, however, videos posted on social media platforms by several metro commuters revealed the extent of the crisis. The crowd from the stations spilled on to the streets in places like Qutub Minar and Chhatarpur.

Over the years, Raksha Bandhan riderships have touched newer highs, prompting DMRC to make special arrangements to handle the rush. On Sunday, metro had planned 589 extra trips across its corridors and had also deployed customer facilitation agents to act as guides.
