These days there is a lot of problem on all the lines.— Mohit Kumar (@Mr_MohitKushwah) June 30, 2026 Why Is Blue Line Disruption Significant? The disruption hit one of the Delhi Metro’s busiest and most heavily used corridors, connecting Dwarka Sector 21 in west Delhi with Noida Electronic City and Vaishali in Uttar Pradesh. The Blue Line serves thousands of daily commuters travelling between Delhi and Noida, including professionals heading to the IT parks and corporate offices in Noida. The corridor also provides a crucial link to Anand Vihar, one of the Capital Region’s busiest transport hubs, offering connectivity to the railway station and interstate bus terminal. As a result, even a brief disruption during office hours can lead to significant delays, overcrowding at stations and widespread inconvenience for commuters across Delhi and the NCR.
