Delhi Metro Update: Yellow Line To Remain Inoperational On Holi For Maintenance Work. Check Alternate Routes

Train services between Rajiv Chowk and Central Secretariat will remain closed today, but the DMRC suggested two alternative routes for onward travel.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Tuesday announced that one section of the Yellow Line of the metro service will remain closed today due to the scheduled maintenance work. The section between Rajiv Chowk and Central Secretariat on Yellow Line will remain closed on Holi.

Services will not be available between those stations of Yellow Line till the end of operational hours on March 8, 2023, due to scheduled maintenance. Earlier, the DMRC in a tweet informed the public that the metro train services on Holi will only resume from 2.30 pm. 

Those coming from Huda City Centre, have to de-board at Central Secretariat, while the passengers coming from Samaypur Badli side, will be able to travel only up to Rajiv Chowk.

Alternative Routes To Take

In a bid to offer convenience to commuters, the DMRC suggested two alternative routes for onward travel. Those commuters travelling on Yellow Line, who want to make his/her journey from Huda City Centre to Samaypur Badli or vice versa are advised to de-board at respective stations and use Violet Line and Blue Line to reach Central Secretariat or Rajiv Chowk and continue their travel for the onward journey on Yellow Line. The passengers can also use the Violet line to travel between Kashmere Gate and Central Secretariat directly.

The passengers on the Blue line willing to travel between Central Secretariat and Huda City Centre need to de-board at Mandi House and use Violet Line to reach Central Secretariat and continue their journey on Yellow Line.
