PM Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the Kalkaji
Mandir-Botanical Garden stretch of
Delhi Metro's Magenta line on December 25.
New Delhi A driverless Delhi Metro train being tested on a new "Magenta Line"
crashed through a wall this afternoon, just days before its launch by Prime Minister
Narendra Modi on Christmas. No one was hurt in the crash, which allegedly took
place because the train's brakes were disengaged. The Delhi Metro has blamed
it on "human error and negligence" and has ordered a high-level inquiry
Two coaches were badly damaged after the train, which was empty, went through
a wall at the Kalindi Kunj depot and barely missed crashing to the ground. The
incident took place around 3.40 pm Dec19
"A trial train was moved from the workshop without testing the brake system as
a result of which, while the train was moving up the ramp for washing, it rolled
back and hit the adjacent boundary wall," the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation said
in a statement.
