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.
Sources said Sreedharan has also ordered a survey of the Phase II network that is under construction.
On Monday, six persons were injured when cranes clearing debris from the site of Sunday's Metro accident collapsed with a 200-tonne capacity crane toppling over under the impact.
