Delhi Metro Begins Escalator Overhaul at Six Yellow Line Stations
The Delhi Metro is fixing some big moving staircases called escalators.
They are being repaired at six stations on the Yellow Line.
The Yellow Line is a busy train route in Delhi and nearby Gurugram.
The work is being done to make riders safer and to help people move through the stations more smoothly.
While the escalators are being fixed, riders are being asked to use elevators, which the metro calls lifts.
The six stations are Arjan Garh, Guru Dronacharya, Sikanderpur, MG Road, IFFCO Chowk, and Millennium City Centre Gurugram.
The metro has not said how long the repairs will take.
Passengers may feel some inconvenience while the work is happening.
Delhi Metro has asked everyone to cooperate with station staff and plan their trips carefully.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has begun major overhaul work on selected escalators at six Yellow Line stations to enhance safety and improve passenger movement.
The affected stations are Arjan Garh, Guru Dronacharya, Sikanderpur, MG Road, IFFCO Chowk and Millennium City Centre Gurugram.
