New Delhi: A minor interlocking issue cropped up on May 30 on the newly-inaugurated Kalkaji Mandir-Janakpuri West stretch of the Delhi Metro's Magenta Line, which was resolved quickly, officials said.

The problem occurred on the 24.82-km-long stretch, which was opened to passengers on Tuesday, a day after its inauguration, they said. However, they did not divulge much details, saying it was a "minor issue that was sorted out quickly".

Passenger services on the segment, which has 16 stations -- 14 underground and two elevated -- began from 6 am on Tuesday from Kalkaji Mandir and Janakpuri West stations simultaneously.
