Technical snag hits Delhi Metro Blue Line; services disrupted between Anand Vihar and Vaishali

Delhi Metro’s Blue Line was disrupted on the evening of June 30, 2026, between Anand Vihar and Vaishali after a technical snag that was attributed to an overhead equipment failure.

According to reports, the interruption lasted about 90 minutes, or a little over an hour, before service was restored. The disruption affected a busy stretch of the Blue Line used by daily commuters in east Delhi and Ghaziabad.

The incident caused delays and inconvenience for passengers traveling on the corridor. The Blue Line is one of Delhi Metro’s major routes and carries heavy traffic throughout the day.

The disruption was reported on June 30 and was later corroborated by another publication covering the same service interruption. The most specific account said the issue hit the Anand Vihar-Vaishali section and was linked to an overhead equipment failure.

Why it matters

Anand Vihar and Vaishali are on a key branch of the Blue Line, making even a short service stoppage disruptive for commuters who depend on the route for regular travel.
