Last week on Friday, services on the Delhi Metro’s Magenta Line were affected for five hours following a massive fire at a furniture market near Kalindi Kunj corridor. However, the operations were resumed later. “Train services have resumed between Botanical Garden and Jasola Vihar Shaheen Bagh. Thank you for your patience,” the DMRC had tweeted. On the same day, metro services between Jasola Vihar Shaheen Bagh and Kalindi Kunj were stopped temporarily due to smoke and fire from a fire underneath the section.

On June 6, a delay in services between Nehru Place and Badarpur was reported on the violet line, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation had told ANI. However, other lines of the Delhi Metro were operating normally.
