Another passenger, Akash Pandey, wrote on X, "For the last half hour, the metro on the Magenta Line has been crawling. What kind of drama is this? If there’s a technical fault, fix it. What’s this nonsense of covering just 2-3 stations in half an hour? @OfficialDMRC @gupta_rekha."

Jitendra Prasad, wrote, on X, "@OfficialDMRC Magenta Line par aaj metro bahut delay hai, trains time par nahi aa rahi hain aur stations par lambi der tak ruk rahi hain.
