Rajiv Chowk metro station was jampacked and there were no announcements made to appease the troubled commuters.

"A technical issue was detected in the automatic train protection system of one of the trains which caused a pile up and other trains on the Yellow Line were forced to slow down," a Metro official said.

"The faulty train was later removed from the tracks and the services resumed," he added.

The metro service was disrupted for an hour starting 9am on Friday.
