Power issues slow down Metro Blue Line

A day after the Centre sought a report on frequent glitches affecting Delhi Metro services, the snag-prone Blue Line was hit by power fluctuations, leading to delays yet again.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) authorities claimed that the problem lasted for around 30 minutes, between 2 PM and 2.30 PM, and that it was sorted quickly and normal services restored.
However, passengers complained that trains were stuck at many stations along the corridor for longer durations.
"Trains were running slow between 2 PM and 2.30 PM due to power fluctuation. Services were not suspended," a metro official said.
The Union Urban Development Ministry has asked the DMRC to submit a report on snags frequently hitting the corridor with an analysis of reasons and measures to be taken to address the same.

Even day before yesterday, a signalling glitch had crippled services on the 50-km corridor that connects Dwarka Sector 21 to Vaishali and Noida City Centre.
Last month, DMRC had apologised to the people after a major glitch led to trains losing contact with its Operational Control Centre for two successive days, triggering long delays and outrage.
