Metro services were not available between Sultanpur and Ghitorni stations on the yellow line due to a "technical issue" in a train on Monday morning.
Commuters travelling for work faced issues to reach office while many stations got crowded with flurry of passengers waiting for metro.
Videos shared on social media showed stampede like situation at Sultanpur metro station.
Many people could also be seen ferrying on trucks to reach their offices.
However, the services resumed after 3 hours the metro hit technical snag.
"Yellow Line Update Services are not available between Sultanpur and Ghitorni. Service is available between HUDA City Centre and Ghitorni as well as Sultanpur and Samaypur Badli. Normal services on all other lines," the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation tweeted earlier around 7 am to alert commuters.
