Trains due to cable theft would operate at restricted speed on the affected section during the day and could result in a delay of the services, as per DMRC.
Delhi Metro: Services on the Delhi Metro’s Blue Line were disrupted on Wednesday following a cable theft between the Moti Nagar and Kirti Nagar stations. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) issued a statement, saying the issue would only be resolved after the operational hours end at night.
Trains on the affected section will run at a restricted speed throughout the day, leading to delays. Meanwhile, DMRC has advised passengers to plan their journeys accordingly as travel times are expected to be longer than usual. “The inconvenience is regretted,” it added.
The Blue Line connects Dwarka in the west to Noida and Vaishali in the east, serving a significant number of daily commuters. As per the information, the cable theft incident occurred late at night after metro services had ended for the day. The incident has led to disruptions on the busy Dwarka to Vaishali/Noida corridor, with trains operating at restricted speeds.
Notably, this is not the first such case as a similar theft was reported in August on the Red Line. During that incident, signal cables were stolen between Jhilmil and Mansarovar Park stations which affected services on the Dilshad Garden to Shahdara route.
