Power failure hits Delhi Metro services

By Assam News on November 9, 2009 at 1:42 am

On Sunday, the Delhi Metro services were hit by a power failure on the Dwarka-Yamuna bank line. The incident left hundreds of passengers stuck on a newly introduced train for over two hours.

The incident was reported between the R.K. Ashram Marg and the Rajiv Chowk Metro stations around 3.15 p.m. According to police sources, the power failure led to non-functioning of signals and the train was halted on the slip track. The R.K. Ashram Marg is an elevated station while the Rajiv Chowk station is underground.

“The passengers were removed through emergency doors and during that some might have suffered sprains. We are not sure about the number but some people have been taken to a nearby hospital,” official sources said in Delhi.

Some passengers themselves opened the emergency gates located on both side of the train and started walking on the track towards the stations, which led to difficulties in conducting rescue operations.
