Girl jumps in front of Delhi Metro; Blue line services disrupted

Metro services on the Blue line were briefly disrupted on Friday after a girl allegedly jumped in front of an approaching train at Noida sector 16 stations, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said. This disruption comes just days after PM Modi inaugurated an extension to the Blue line.

"Delay in service between Noida Electronic City and Dwarka Sector 21 after a girl jumped in front of an approaching train at Noida sector-16 heading towards Dwarka at around 10.45 am," a DMRC spokesperson said. Services on all other lines remained unaffected, he said.

"I could not make it to the office on time since the metro services on my route was delayed for about 20 minutes," said a commuter.
