The busy Blue Line of Delhi Metro had come to a screeching halt earlier this month following the theft of approximately 140 metres of signalling cables between Moti Nagar and Kirti Nagar stations. The route connecting Dwarka with Vaishali and Noida City Centre was stalled for about six hours - causing significant inconvenience to commuters.

Cable theft has become a growing problem in the area - with officials reporting 44 incidents this year.
