Many commuters complained of delay in train services at Rajiv Chowk and Barakhamba metro stations.

"The signalling issue cropped up around 10 pm and due that there was bunching of trains. We have almost sorted the issue," a senior DMRC official said.

Manoj, a commuter, said he got stranded at Rajiv Chowk around 10:15 pm.
