Delhi's Chandni Chowk, Chawri Bazar metro stations get platform screen doors

This is the first time the Delhi Metro has installed PSDs in already existing operational metro stations on the Yellow Line (HUDA City Centre to Samaypur Badli). | PTI

The barrier between the platform and the tracks will help in better crowd management at these busy stations and also prevent any untoward incident such as jumping or falling on the tracks. | PTI

According to the DMRC statement, the installation and commissioning of these doors at already operational stations was a major challenge as the PSDs could be installed only during non-revenue hours depending on the availability of blocks during late night hours after the close of passenger services. | PTI

Four other stations of this line will have these PSDs which include New Delhi, Central Secretariat, Rajiv Chowk and Kashmere Gate in the future. | PTI
