Passengers going from Noida City Center to Dwarka on the blueline faced a lot of problems. Due to non-arrival of the metro train on time, long queues took place outside the stations. After the huge rush of passengers at the Sector-15 metro station, the CISF personnel had to close their entry for some time. The crowd was so large that people had to line up from the road below the station.
Security personnel, said that due to technical fault in the route, Metro is not coming from time. Therefore, the crowd of people was increasing.
DMRC also acknowledged the problem of Delhi Metro’s blueline route in its tweet and later tweeted about resumption of normal services.
