Snag holds up Metro at Jor Bagh station

The services of the HUDA City Centre to Jahangirpuri Metro suffered a minor delay at 5 pm on Friday, after a train's doors developed a snag. This led to the Metro train being stalled at Jor Bagh station for more than the usual time.

"When the Metro reached the Jor Bagh platform, the train doors opened after a delay of about three to four minutes. After the commuters got down at the Metro station, the doors failed to close. The Metro then remained at the station for about 20 minutes," a commuter said.

The incident also affected the Metro frequency on the corridor.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation confirmed the incident.

"The train doors sensors are sensitive if any object comes in its range. It could have been the case here too. Some object may have come into the range of the sensors, so they did not close," the official said.

According to officials, the Metro delay was quickly corrected and service resumed on the corridor.

"The Metro had halted at Jor Bagh for around 5 to 6 minutes. A slight delay could have surfaced, but it was quickly overcome and did not affect the peak hour travel," an official said.
