"The exact reason shall be worked out during night after completion of train services. As a result, trains were moved in the affected portion with a restricted speed of 5KMPH to avoid damage to the pantographs of the trains, resulting into delay for the following trains. To avoid impact on the entire Blue Line, train movement was regulated intermittently through loops also- between Karol Bagh to Dwarka -21 section and Indraprastha to Noida/Vaishali section. OHE maintenance team carried out the necessary repair work from 3:52 PM to 4:00 PM thereby, normalizing the affected OHE portion.
