Services were resumed on the Blue-Line Metro after a brief technical snag had hit the line on Thursday afternoon leading to delay. "Normal services have resumed. We regret the inconvenience," DMRC tweeted. Earlier, it had tweeted, "Blue Line Update, Delay in services between Dwarka and Rajiv Chowk." "Passengers can use the Magenta-Line from Janakpuri West or Botanical-Garden to reach Dwarka or Noida," said DMRC.

Starting Monday, the number of audio announcements inside trains on the Magenta Line of the Delhi Metro will be reduced on a trial basis, officials said on Sunday. They said the move was aimed at giving relief to commuters who complain about "excessive announcements". The Magenta Line links Janakpuri West in Delhi to Botanical Garden in Noida.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will not permit passengers to exit the Rajiv Chowk metro station after 9 pm on December 31. However, passengers will be allowed to enter the station to board the trains. This will enable authorities to maintain law and order during New Year's Eve celebrations in New Delhi district area, the DMRC said.
