In December 2022, the Magenta line Metro service was disrupted after a drone carrying medical supplies fell on the metro track near Delhi's Jasola Vihar. The services were disrupted between Jasola Vihar Shaheen Bagh to Botanical Garden "due to security reasons", DMRC tweeted.
The drone reportedly belongs to a Noida-based company, which supplies medicines adding the company's documents were being checked to ascertain if they had the drug regulator's permission.
“We are checking their documents whether permission from DGCA is there or not. We are investigating it and on the basis of the investigation necessary action will be taken,” Deputy Commissioner of Police Metro, Jitendra Mani, was quoted by ANI.
