Services on a section of the Delhi Metro's Magenta Line corridor have been affected for several hours since morning due to a case of attempted theft of signalling cable, the DMRC said on Wednesday.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation tweeted to alert commuters.
"Magenta Line update delay in services between Kalindi Kunj and Okhla Bird Sanctuary. Normal service on all other lines," it tweeted in the morning.
Many commuters took to Twitter to share the inconvenience they faced on account of the delay.
"Since undertaking repair work on the affected section during operational hours would have resulted in stopping of all services in that section, it was decided that to avoid hardship to the passengers, trains would be allowed to operate with a restricted speed of 25 kmph during the entire day today," a senior DMRC official said.
The restoration work is planned for the night after the last passenger service.
Access to the track will be provided to replace the cables damaged during the attempted theft, the DMRC said in a statement. -- PTI
