In October, services were briefly affected on Delhi Metro's Yellow Line due to a technical snag in a train, following which it was removed from operation at the Green Park station, an official said.

In August, thousands of Delhi Metro commuters had faced hardship as services on the Yellow Line (towards Huda City Centre) were suspended for around 30 minutes in the morning following a glitch near the Chhatarpur station in the middle of heavy rush on Raksha Bandhan.
