Eight states have been affected since late Sunday night due to major power supply failure in the Northern Power Grid.The affected states include Delhi and Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Rajasthan. There will be no Metro train services till power supply is restored.
The northern grid collapsed at 2.30 am. According to reports, it might take four to five hours for the whole system to come back to normal.
Thousands of commuters faced severe hardship in the morning hours today when Delhi Metro services were largely disrupted owing to a major failure in the Northern Grid that supplies power to the modern transport system.
Train services on all six corridors were affected since morning and the Metro was able to run trains only from 7 am, an hour later than the usual time of 6 am. When the services began at 7 am, only 25 per cent of trains were put on all six corridors affecting commuters.
Delhi Metro officials said the disruption in services is due to a failure in the Northern Grid which supplies power to it.
The train services are expected to be restored soon on all lines except the Gurgaon corridor, which might take some more time, they said.
As majority of the trains were taken off services due to power failure, the frequency of trains became an all-time low of 20 minutes on a few corridors in the first few hours in the morning, people were stranded at several Metro stations.
Operations at the Delhi airport largely remained unaffected."As soon as there was a disruption in power supply, all our essential services like flight arrival and departure, check-in, baggage handling, aerobridge services were shifted to our back-up system. So all these operations remained normal", an airport spokesperson said.
"We have one of the best DG (diesel generating) back-up system of the world. However, there might be some disruption in our non-essential services", he added.
There were reports of air conditioning not functioning in terminal 1D and some portions of terminal 3. Also, there was no power in some retail outlets at the airport.
"Overall ninety-five percent of our services remained unaffected", a spokesperson said.
