According to PTI, the Kalini Kunj depot in-charge was one of the four officials suspended for the lapse. The accident occurred on Tuesday when the unmanned train slammed into a wall at the Kalindi Kunj depot. No casualties or injuries were reported, Financial Express reported. The front portion of the train and a stretch of the depot’s boundary wall were damaged, a DMRC official was quoted as saying by the news agency PTI.

According to News18, two metro trains collided in November 2016, in what was a freak accident at the Kalindi Kunj depot. The trains, equipped with anti-collision technology, collided sideways, resulting in substantial damage to the bodies of the coaches, according to The Times of India. The section is a part of the 38.23-kilometres-long Botanical Garden-Janakpuri West corridor . The Magenta line will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Christmas day. The 12.64 kilometre section was granted safety approval by the Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) last month. The new line will help reduce travel time from Noida to south Delhi and Gurgoan by 45 minutes. Trains on the new line can run without drivers, and are equipped with an advanced Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) signalling technology, that facilitates train movement with a frequency of 90-100 seconds. The Botanical Garden station has been developed as the metro’s first-ever inter-change station outside the boundaries of Delhi. The accident occurred just six days before Modi was scheduled to inaugurate the Kalkaji Mandir-Botanical Garden corridor (Magenta line), media reports said. With inputs from PTI
