At around 7:00 am, when power supply was resumed from Northern Grid, Metro trains were rolled out from respective depots for passenger services in a phased manner. A team of senior officers from Delhi Metro’s Electrical wing swung into action at 2:30 am to ensure that power supply is resumed for Metro at the earliest. Separate teams were deployed for DMRC’s Control Centres at Shastri Park and Metro Bhawan to supervise the overall situation and to ensure earliest restoration of power supply to DMRC.” There was no power in Delhi and its neighbouring states since 2 am reports IBN-Live.
