In the second such mishap to hit the Delhi Metro in a month,a train derailed near the Yamuna Bridge in east Delhi apparently due to problems on track,causing tense moments for 14 passengers on board and prompting the DMRC to order a probe and suspend a junior engineer.
Two wheels of the train’s front coach jumped tracks at 6:02 am,just seconds after it started from the Yamuna Bank station,DMRC Spokesman Anuj Dayal said.
None of the passengers were injured.
Prima facie,according to Dayal,the derailment seems to have occurred due to problems related to the railway track and the Junior Engineer in charge of track maintenance has been suspended.
The accident comes exactly a month after a Metro train with 34 passengers on board derailed at the Dwarka station.
