Delhi Metro Briefly Halts Operations Following Earthquake
Delhi Metro passengers experienced a brief pause in their journeys today as trains across the network came to a standstill following an earthquake. This precautionary measure, lasting approximately 2-3 minutes, was implemented to ensure the safety of all commuters.
Safety First: Standard Operating Procedures Implemented
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) promptly initiated its Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in response to the seismic activity. These procedures prioritize passenger safety and require trains to halt operations temporarily during and immediately after an earthquake. This allows for a quick assessment of potential risks and ensures that the metro system remains safe for travel.
Resumption of Services
Following the brief pause, services resumed across the Delhi Metro network. The DMRC confirmed the implementation of the safety protocols and emphasized its commitment to passenger well-being.
