Delhi Metro's Chief Public Relation Officer Anuj Dayal was not available for comments but officials at the organisation said Metro chief E Sreedharan had held a meeting of all departmental heads on Monday morning, after his resignation was rejected by the Delhi government on Sunday night.
"The operations department officials have been asked to report if there are any cracks in any of the installations on the operational Metro lines. Whatever remedial measures are possible will be taken," said the official.
Sources said Sreedharan has also ordered a survey of the Phase II network that is under construction.
