New Delhi, India: The Delhi Metro today suspended four officials, including the in-charge of the Kalindi Kunj depot, where an empty train crashed into a wall on Tuesday while being taken for washing.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) managing director Mangu Singh approved the orders of suspension based on an inquiry done by a team of three Executive Director-rank officials, DMRC chief spokesperson Anuj Dayal said.
The four officials include one deputy general manager who was the depot incharge, one assistant manager, a junior engineer and an assistant section engineer, Dayal said.
The brake of the train, was not functional when it was being taken for washing, the DMRC said.
"As a result, as soon as the operator brought the train at the ramp, it started rolling back, got derailed and hit the wall," Dayal said.
Trains on the new 12.38-km-long section, part of metro's upcoming Magenta Line, will initially operate with a driver with a high level of automation including platform screen doors, he said.
