As per News Agency PTI, Anuj Dayal, DMRC’s Principal Executive Director for Corporate Communications, explained that repairs during service hours were not feasible, leading to the decision to maintain reduced speeds throughout the day to minimize passenger disruption.

He further noted, that replacing the cables is a time-consuming process that requires complete access to the track, which is not possible while trains are running.

Currently, restoration work is planned to start after the last train service, with track access needed for replacing the damaged cables.
