Train operations on a section of Delhi Metro's Pink Line faced disruption on Monday after smoke was detected at the technical room of the Trilokpuri-Sanjay Lake station, officials reported.
According to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), smoke was observed around 11:20 am, impacting the station's signalling and Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) systems. Consequently, trains approaching Trilokpuri-Sanjay Lake are running at a restricted speed of 25 kmph due to the temporary signalling unavailability.
The remainder of the Pink Line remains operational as usual. Personnel from the Delhi Fire Service have been deployed to disperse the smoke, and restoration work is underway to bring affected systems back online. DMRC is ensuring frequent public announcements are made to keep passengers informed about the ongoing situation.
